I'm with everybody else (no deal). I bought a mark ll and stainless security six both this year. In my opinion the mark ll is better than the mark lll. Lot of complaints about round indicator flag and equally difficult to disassemble. I would say if he wants to kick in $200 on top, then it would be fair. The security six is getting harder to find especially the stainless version. I got a perfect 1977 stainless security six for $350 which I thought was an incredible deal and the mark ll cost $225 and think I paid about retail on that one.
