I can not believe it and I also do not buy that Test Evaluation Unit serial number ****. Sounds like it might just be made up?
You are correct about the TEU not standing for Test and Evaluation Unit even though that is written to be the case in the S&W standard catalog. But the gun is a legitimate test gun from the first shipment that went to the FBI for testing. I have no qualms with the way he has this gun listed. I would like to see the end labels of the box to tell if it is legit but there is no reason to think otherwise.

I should add that two other FBI 1076's with the "TEU" prefix sold a year or so ago for right around $2000 each in seperate auctions. You have to remember that there were only around 250 in this first shipment.
