Thanks to all for the advice, it is much appreciated.
4 Scale kinda confirmed what I was thinking, either learn how to spot a "bargain" or buy from a reputable dealer. I'm figuring it's worth a hundred or so extra to go with a dealer I can trust and folks here confirmed what I pretty much knew, Simpsons is a reputable dealer and can be trusted not to rip folks off....
There's an S/42, 1938 with "Swiss-style" grips, 70% bluing, and safety switch that's a bit loose...for $1200 that seems like a decent gun and is priced about where I thought it would be.
Now, if I can just negotiate financing with my banker (my wife) I might bite next week.
Again, many thanks.
