Hi Tony,
Looks like a decent Artillery. And probably at a better price than the one that you were looking at. The seller seems to be making an honorable attempt at describing any warts that it may have. It would be a good buy if you can get it for around $1400-$1500. Ron

Looking at the top left corner of the sideplate it seems to be more rounded than I'd expect; a refinish job ?

it is okay to put a direct link here onto the forum, makes it easier for folks to look and help you.

wrong grips, replaced slider, wrong firing pin. I would ask more questions about the breechblock and internals. Otherwise, a decent artillery, just not top of the line collectable. ed |

I agree with Ed, There was just the other day an Artillery that had a Mauser Banner toggle that went for 2500 or so..a terrible reblued mismatch. Someone paid a collector price for a thousand dollar shooter. The grips appear to be black plastic of some sort..Jerry Burney

The Mauser Banner LPO8 may have been one of the 100 that Mauser made for Thailand. $2500 still a bit steep, if reblued. TH
