Default Pawn shop find: German P226 2-tone DAO

Other than the tell-tale takedown lever mark, the frame is almost perfect. As you can see, a little wear on the right grip panel. The dark spots you may see in the cocking serrations are just some crud, which I cleaned out last night. It had been sitting in the pawn shop since at least 2007, which is when the guy who sold it to me started working there. To my surprise, he had the Sigarms case and manual. "KF" date code.

I can't imagine that beauty sitting in a pawn shop for that many years. Brings tears to my eyes. Congrats to you for a great find.

Agreed! Hard to believe it sat there for that long.
