Vendor at the local gun show has a 1908 Commercial for sale. Condition is 95%+ on blue and 80% straw. Bore is frosted, but rifleing is visable. Serial number is in the 65000 range, no stock lug, but does have hold open. All matching including a decent Commercial holster with punch and take down tool, missing cleaning rod. Comes with a FXO Bakelite bottom mag and a East German 2/1001 marked Hanel type mag. Seller is asking $1050. It seems like a fair deal, but just want others input.
