Hoard another standard C96
Acquired one from flea market. Arrived today. It looks great. This winter is not cold. Saved some heating oil bill -- I love global warming.... Christmas is near, just reward myself a little bit.

Acquired from flea market?
Whats the story on that? And why would you have to wait for it if you bought it at a flea market |

The gun was consigned to a dealer for selling online a few months ago. The seller lowered asking price a few times,,,, I sold a few guns recently so I could afford his gun. Since this gun is in great condition with matching stock, it's a small "investment item".

Thanks!
My spouse does not have any interest in guns. After I showed her this pair today (#173726 is the subject one), even she admitted "this pair is pretty". Not consecutively numbered, but not too far away either. These two were made in 1914. |
