I bought a registered magnum

[jaykellogg]

I bought it just now off of Gunbroker. Here is a picture I lifted off the auction site.

According to the listing the gun is 92% with the original box. Additional high res pictures are here

Congratulations on the purchase.

Congratulations. I bought one last month on Gunbroker and I hope yours turns out as good as mine when you have it in hand.

Congrats!
I was bidding on that one but I decided to drop out. That seller is very well known in the Sig world for having some really rare high dollar P210's

Fantastic looking gun. Congratulations!

Very Nice!!

Beautiful. I bet it will be a Gem. You name her yet?

Very nice: I have one very close to yours that shipped in August 1936. That looks like a 6 1/2 inch barrel. I wonder if it shipped to the same place as mine?

Nice RM and welcome to the club. Ate you planning to shoot it? If you don' mind, what do it go for? Looks to be in great shape, Larry

Congrats! Time for a letter, perhaps. You might uncover some interesting history. It does appear to have a little holster wear, ... just the right amount in my opinion.

Yes, I do plan to shoot it. I don't see how a few dozen rounds could hurt it. The purchase price was $4550 plus shipping. I need to withdraw funds from my IRA (spending my kid's inheritance), so I doubt I will have it for a couple of weeks.

There is a man in town that has a very nice registered magnum in nickel. It has a King sight as this one apparently does. He has a letter on it. He has stag grips, but said he had the originals and the asking price is $7200. I guess I am fairly lucky, many people will never see a registered magnum and I have held one and will soon own one.

I have touched up other guns with cold blue so you cannot tell there was ever any holster wear, but on a high dollar gun like this it will remain ungoobered. I do believe I'll order a letter.


How rare is it to have the original box?

Congrats on your purchase. Beautiful revolver.

I'll take it....PM incoming!!

Very nice and congratulations are in order.

Very nice. I personally like them best with a little bit of wear, exactly like yours. That way you can shoot and enjoy it without feeling like you have to put on kid gloves.

I hope to someday own one just like it.

I do suspect you will love shooting it, Registered Magnums are a magical thing.

Congratulations on a great acquisition. I have one RM "shooter" and one RM "safe queen". I can tell you that I get a lot more enjoyment out of the "shooter"

Beautiful revolver.

I've always wondered what the difference is between a 92% Registered Magnum and a 93% Registered Magnum.

Beautiful revolver.

I've always wondered what the difference is between a 92% Registered Magnum and a 93% Registered Magnum.

That would be 1%.
