10-5 Saudi Ministry of Interior Public Security

[OldK22]

10-5 new in the box with tools and paperwork. The translation of the Arabic characters came from google so it may or may not be correct. Saw this at an auction several years ago but did not buy it. Showed up in an auction yesterday and I bought it this time. From the box label it looks like it was made in 78. I know it is "only" a model 10 but thought it was interesting.

I've seen one of those as well. Probably GB. I don't recall the long barrel though. Seems like it was a 4"…….. I think it's cool for only being a model 10

It sure looks like it was kept in an arid environment.

Great pick up OP. Now you can go find yourself a Rolex from 1978 with the same Saudi King Fahad seal.

I find it very interesting too. Those type of markings improve firearms in my opinion.

Thank you for sharing.

That's a really sharp 10 you picked up OldK22. Good thing you jumped on it this time, you may have never got a 3rd chance to do so.

Back in the 70s I had a Mod 10 NIB with the crest of Iran, that looked similar to this but not in color-

These foreign crested guns we find NIB are almost always overruns from the contracts sold here in the US.
They are still neat guns.
