Here's mine. Goony: you can see I've figured out how to size pictures and post thumbnails. Thanks for your help.
First is SN 35584. Note the slide serrations are at the rear. It came to me with the MMC sights shown. It also came without the magazine disconnector which I have since replaced. Evidently it was someone's carry gun.
The somewhat ratty box is unusual. It is an earlier one with solid borders instead of hatched. It has no label but is stamped on the other end for a Model 39. The box is bigger: 9 ½" by 6 ½", rather than the normal size of 8" by 6 ½". The serial number and '9mm' is written on the bottom with white or silver grease pencil.
Next is SN 80090. It came with the S&W sights adjustable for windage and elevation. It has been used fairly hard, and has a little pitting at the rear of the slide; possibly carried in the rain. I inflicted the indignity of painting the front sight with white nail polish.

Reason: Changed 1/2 to ½.
