Frank I was asked to research a m27 a while back with this same markings. I discovered that when Austin Airport had its own police force, they marked their guns this way. APPD—Air Port Police Department.
Receiving a low ball offer has never bothered me, thanks for your offer, however I need to pass. What gets me, is when a member on this forum makes you an offer, you accept the offer, then they never follow through on the deal.
You are correct Bill. I have actually spoke with the Sergeant over the range at that time, he has explained to me how these 2 6 1/2" ers came to be. He has been a wealth of info.
I am late to the party, my hands have been full baby sitting 2 grandson's.
Excellent find chud, I am still asking and searching for the records for these, I feel certain that one day they will appear.
I am pretty sure that I have that poster, it is still in a tube, let me double check if it is the same.
Yes, it is the same poster, still in new condition. I also have this older poster, if you are interested.
I still make lots of shows, and honestly I always find something.
Just returned from a very small show and what a show it was. Came home with three 27-2's and a 629-1 Lew Horton.
This does not happen at every show, but I would not have found them had I not gone.
