Perhaps if you showed us the gun and named that good price?

You must name a price to advertise anything for sale in these forums. Your location would also be a good idea, as someone local to you would be more inclined to purchase than someone who would have to facilitate the transaction using a third party dealer or shipping.

You should also make good clear closeup photographs available if you want a response.

Kantu, I moved your thread to the 'New members' subforum. Since you have no idea of a price, and a price is required in the for sale topic.

It looks like a converted Navy? with some saltwater or other corrosive exposure. The gun has been refinished and the takedown lever appears to have had either work done to it or it is a gunsmith's replacement. Neither the grips or magazine are original to the gun. The grips, if authentic, are worth some money.

The sideplate also makes me nervous. It appears to have a full length raised lug but may be a gunshop special as well.

Why is there an ampersand ("&") instead of a crown above the "M" on the right side of the receiver?

Marc, why is it on the right? (good eye)

Vlim · 11-05-2011, 08:42 AM

This pistol has had a lot of rust damage. Quite a lot of metal has been taken off here and there and it seems that the &M markings are just an attempt to 'recreate' the buffed away imperial markings.

The side plate has had material welded on, and reshaped. This makes it look funny.

The gun appears to have been kept working over the years by hand making or repairing a number of parts on it. In any event, it is a shooter and worth maybe $500.
