Well, I did not find too much to buy at Tulsa, but today the mail man brought this 1937 Brazilian that I got off of Gunbroker. I was the only bidder at the opening bid of $350. It is not import marked, all matching, except the grips which are within 300 numbers. The original blue is about 96% with only handling marks. Bore and action are "AS NEW". This probably came in before 1968 and it escaped the rough handling in shipping that most of the import guns show. It shows very little evidence of ever being fired, there are no marks on the recoil shield and the hammer and trigger show excellent case colors. I'd buy these guns all day at these prices.

Very nice! Good deals are still out there. I hope you leave the "14" on the left grip.

I will leave thge "14" on the grip as it is part of the history. I think the 1937 Brazilians are pretty undervalued in today's market

I think they were a year ago. A carfull buyer that wanted a shooter 1917 can get by quite well with one
