Got lucky

I bought a Radom 9mm last week on AA, bid $225 for it. Its about 80%, tight, solid 9mm with some top slide discoloration. Also has a Wa'd magazine but plexiglass grips. Surprisingly the grips are very comfortable on it. Anyway, I went to the local pawn shop to pick it up, this guy doesn't charge any transfer fees for me, really nice people. I get the 9mm, then ask " got anything else back there?" He pulled out a stone mint FN 1922 Waffenmarked 100% matching gun. Coming out of pawn today. $160.00 out the door. Has to be late war production, typical thin bluing and visible machine marks, wood grips. Looks great on the wall. Not going to be one I'll take apart again for a while. Need three hands to get the firing pin/spring assembly back in.

later
