The Blue Book says it's "too rare to be priced". Everything looks correct on this one (well, at least matching my imagination). Enjoy!

One question on Stoeger's numbering:

710 -- Regular 1930
711 -- Nickl Schnellfeuer
712 -- Westinger Schnellfeuer
713 -- ??
714 -- If I remembered right, it's this one.

What's 713 in Stoeger's catalog?

Hi Alvin

What do you think of the "W" and "M" in the inscription?
Are they suppose to have split ends?
Maybe I need a new computer and eye glasses

Be careful out there, so often rare guns have been loved to death by their owners.

Good luck!

Vern, eagle eyes!!

I assume that split ends are just photo shadow on letters, but that could be a dangerous assumption. Missed this gun in the auction though. Only got a manual in this session.

It sold for only $28,750.00. You were just outbid by $5.

Far away. I saved $10k for it. If no one wants it, it's mine. My bid must be out in the first round.
