WWII Browning High Power Finish

lfid · 08-18-2010, 01:23 AM

Circa 1965 , at gun show in smalltown usa , I looked at a tangent sight type nazi proofed hipower

it was medium shiny blue , salt blue , mint like out of a time machine , price was $55.
seller was sort of a friend and offered to hold it for $5 while I went to the bank
I decided just to go get the $55 , and of course it was gone when I got back 30 min later

telling the story to say that at least some of these were very nicely finished bright salt blue
as no one would have faked one then for such a small price

I dont recall the serial - but seems it was 6 digits no small letter

enjoy the one you have
Bill
