Mint 39-2

[Toothpick]

Wasn't really out shopping for one, but when I saw it in the shops case I knew it had to come home with me. I figured I would never find a nicer one.

Gun, Box, paperwork, 3 S&W mags and a still sealed cleaning kit. Was told it was just but on consignment.

The checkering feels like it was cut yesterday. I guessing it's a 1971 or so vintage.

I'd just to have begged Mrs. for forgiveness, it would have came home with me, as well!

 

[Sevens]

Good grief, even the box looks like it has only now seen air after being released from the time capsule.

Fantastic score!! Accurate and easy to shoot, if you do.

One of the most comfortable 9mm automatics I have ever held. Naturally pointing and a pleasure to shoot. I have two of them. Size, weight and aesthetics are just about perfect.

Very nice, I’d be a buyer if the price was right.

Very nice indeed!!!!!!!!

Nice pick up. I’d have been the same,,,, it would have come home with me.

 

[GyMac]

Beautiful! I think it’s the most handsome auto ever made.

I guessing it's a 1971 or so vintage.

For what it's worth, A184540 shipped in November of 1972.

Agree 100%!

Bought a 52, simply because it feels like a 39! (Never regretted that purchase!)

AH, Nov. 1972 back at the old gun shop where I worked. Dove season over and deer, duck and goose in full swing. A real nip in the air. Thru the door the new guy walks in. He wants a m-39. I think about $90 and out the door with gun and a box of ball ammo. Yes, the good ole days.

Very nice OP. A nickel one followed me home this weekend too. I need to take some better pictures of it. Mine came with 3 mags, the box, manual/parts list, a card about adjusting the sight, wax paper, and partial tool kit (missing the cleaning rod and swab, but had the brush and screw driver). Serial# A1460XX. Pistol looks brand new.
