Default model 18 beauty

While the rest of my family was out shopping on Black Friday, I visited my LGS and came home with this great pinned and recessed Model 18-4. It is truly NIB with all paperwork and tools still in their bag, unopened. Grips also number to the gun. She was shipped in 1981 and put away, never used, never fired. Box is pristine and I am one happy new owner.

Wow! That is one pretty Model 18. Sure hope you'll put that one to work for you.

I was looking for one of those last year but ended up with a 50s version. Still think a later Model 18 would be nice.

Congratulations on a very nice find. I sure wish my LGS had stuff like that once in awhile and I think he does too.

What a great find and purchase as there aren't many unfired complete Model 18's out there.
