Gun Show Find.

Great looking M&P, it is amazing that these guns survive in such condition. Here is one that shipped to Seattle in 1919. The gun is complete with box, papers and cleaning brush with paper sleeve and is as close to a 100% gun of this vintage that I have seen. There is no evidence of it being fired after it left the factory and only the slightest hit of a turn line. The gun was found in the rafters of a house being cleaned out by the family after the old gentleman who owned the house passed away, the family did not even know he owned a gun. It was wrapped in an oily rag and inside the box, how it survived in this condition in Seattle's damp climate is a wonder.

That is amazing!! The condition of that piece and all of the goodies to go with it are just unreal. I sure hope I can locate a box and goodies for mine.

Hey Folks ,

As promised here is a picture of the grip numbers and a few more shots of the pistol. The numbers are written in in pencil . The gun has matching numbers through out. They really used to put the serial numbers on these guns didnt they. I have found six different places that the numbers are at. I know that there are alot of M&P's out there but what would be a good estimate on value of one in this condition and age? Would it be wrong to shoot such a clean old gun? I hear they shoot very well.

I might put about 6 rounds a year through it.
