Sometimes the blind squirrel indeed finds the nut. And, I think I have found GOLD!
I have never seen anything like this. A mismarked M-64! The crane is stamped M 10-7. I have looked it over carefully, and, there is no chance the stamping has been tampered with. Its clean and without question original. The serial number is 4D09XXX. Perfect bore on this pencil barrel example.
I will be sending off on a letter for this treasure as soon as possible, perhaps Mr Jinks can shed some light on how something like this could slip past the inspectors. It somehow made it through the entire process, blued and shipped without anyone catching on! Unbelievable, huh?
Anyway, here are the photos of the side of the gun, and, the frame stamping. As you can see, the blueing has worn off, just a tiny bit, near the muzzle, exposing the stainless steel underneath. Thank goodness this gun has just a tiny bit of wear on this otherwise pristine example, or, this treasure might never have seen the light of day! To say I am excited, is an understatement. Your comments are most certainly appreciated!
And, as you can see, the frame stamping is PERFECT!!!
I can only imagine what something like this is worth, please, no offers here on the forum, I certainly don't want to break any rules, but, I'll bet more than a few of you are chomping at the bit!!
