Turned out being OK -- received a valid transferring dealer's FFL via email today. Just wait for money order now. Should be OK. The price sold to him is low, if he indeed backs out, I would be very surprised. It's not easy to find one like this at this price. Lots of C96 with deep pits under blue are sold this price on gunbroker.com and auctionarms.com. This one is pits free, and finish is original 75-80% except floor. Bore is shiny bright, not relined or rebored. He'll be very happy.
Now expecting my new M1930 coming
