Default New .32 Lemon Squeezer

I just got this .32 3rd model lemon squeezer at a local gun show today. The nickel is near pristine and better then my pictures show. The bore is pristine. Lot up is tight with no play. There is nice case coloring on the trigger. All numbers match including the grips. The serial number is 203999, so I am guessing some time in the 1930s, but I would appreciate it is someone could pin it down better. I will be sending for a letter, but that will take months. The price was $500 marked sown to $450.

Looks like a 3rd model, And I will guesstimate late 1920 to early 1921.

Nice looking one. They will grow on you, now you need a 1st Model and a 2nd model.

I actually have my eye on an equally nice 2nd model bicycle gun. But the asking price of $1250 seems a bit high to me. I am hoping no one with either more money and/or less brains then I do, doesn't snap it up before the price goes down

Thanks

Nice gun! The price, even discounted, isn't exactly a steal, but certainly within the envelope for a nice specimen that's got your name on it. But definitely hold your horses on the bicycle gun unless that price comes down substantially.

Unless that 2nd model is NIB and with original Ivory or Pearl stocks, with box and with letter it seems high to me.

No box, no letter, hard rubber grips, and 95%. I was hoping for $800, which is probably still too high.

I don't think that's too high for a Bicycle Gun in good condition.
