Yes it does have an M & P done with an engraving gun. It is not faint. I tried to take a picture but the reflection from the chrome was too bright.

I was thinking more along the lines of you might not be comfortable saying what you paid because you might have either not been sure that it was a good price or been a higher price than than the people of the forum might think sensible.

Just a tip. I have a Colt SP1 and original Colt Scope. When you mount the scope do something to protect the underside of the carry handle because the scope mount will mar the finish. I would suggest a thin piece of leather so that the prongs of the mount don’t dig into the metal and finish.

I could give a shit less if someone thinks I paid too much for something. I just find it comical that someone hints at an awesome score and then wants to keep the price a state secret as if there will be a nationwide search for the guy who sold it to him looking for the next great score.

Agreed, there is no point in saying you got a great deal, then refusing to say what the deal was. It simply sounds like internet whoring for attention. For the OP, tell your son to join up and post the pictures himself so he can tell the story.

Who cares what anyone else thinks. Good deal, bad deal, or regular deal, we are all willing to pay more for certain things that we have a want or need for.

I need a Mauser C96 safety, the places I’ve found have been dirt cheap, but out of stock. I would most certainly pay a higher price to get one, and I wouldn’t care what anyone thought about it being an old pistol, or what the price was. I traded a $2500+ rifle for the C96, which means I paid over book value. It makes no difference to me if anyone thinks I’m not sensible. :smiley:

Stickman,

If you like C96s here is one of my Broomhandles.

In 1940 the Luftwaffe ordered 7900 Red 9s from Mauser. Mauser no longer made C96s so Mauser filled the order using their commercial Red 9s. The only marking on those Red 9s that were delivered to the Luftwaffe were the Waffen Eagles on the left side of the barrel and the cocking handle. I bought this Red 9 at an auction from the estate of a retired WWII Colonel who brought it home with him. He also had a huge collection of WWI and WWII rifles, pistols and sniper rifles.

Here are a few pics:
