I stumbled on a G35 today at the LGS when I went to see if they got their ammo order in. I got it for $475 before tax. The 2 shell casings they put in for the states that require them have the date 07/21/2004. It has most of the copper lube still on it. You can see a slight line mark between the 35 and Austria.
Very nice new/used G35! And interesting to me since less than a week ago I bought a used G27 that looks new but the GFA prefix serial number dates the pistol to May 2004. Mine doesn’t have any trace of the copper goop though.
