Promising Piece...

Hi Norm,

Even with the glare-filled photos, it appears that patina does show through the finish. This is promising.

I assumed both magazines were real Navy mag's so I would consider the pair worth around $ 600 on a resale basis. More if they are numbered matched.

That gets the "price" down to $ 3200.

I would also assume I could get the seller down on their asking price by 10-15%...so the price gets down in the $ 2900 to $ $ 2700...

That would be my consideration if I were to buy this piece.

You got a good price at $ 2500...if your pistol is original and a strong 95% or so.
