250 and 225 + shipping or 465 for the pair
I went through my collection and decided to sell the duplicates. I have been able to find several NIB or LNIB so these are about as fine a pair of IJ70 pistols as you will see. Both are from the same source and obviously were purchased, put in a drawer and forgotten. However, I only have the box, papers,tool, and manual for the 18AH, since the seller had no idea that they were worth keeping and simply pitched them before they were sold.
They are both KBI imports; the pic below with the hi-cap shows a manufacture date of 8/94. Both are perfect with no barrel marks or wear whatsoever, however the hi-cap has two tiny marks on the tip of the slide on the side that laid in the box. Since the hi-cap was an early KBI import, the 10 round mag that comes with it is blue rather than the phosphate-coated mag you may typically see. I spoke with the KBI gunsmith and he assured me it is an original mag from the importer.
I do not believe that either was ever fired and those of you who know me realize that you can take that to the bank. I had a very difficult time deciding which of the remaining pistols I would keep and finally just picked the ones with the serial numbers that were closest to the letter of the alphabet that my wife gave me (very scientific and it will keep me from second guessing).
The top two pics are from the scanner and odd color, marks and so on are from the process, not flaws; the other two are pics from my camera on my Blackberry.
I am asking $285 for the hi-cap and $260 for the standard; the former comes with matching box, papers, manual, tool and one mag; the latter with one mag. While I would prefer a f2f transfer, I will split shipping costs which will end up an additional $30 (CONUS my ffl to yours) for the purchaser of each.
5/20 price reduced to 265 and 240 respectively; 500 for the pair. I will keep these up til the end of the holiday, then put them back in the safe
If someone offers me 525 for the pair (I will try to combine shipping, but there is no guarantee) I will give them initial preference over offers for single purchases. I would also consider trades for a Glock 17 (first or early second generation) or other interesting collectable.
****EG SOLD****I also have a '61 EG, but the two specimens I have are so perfect that I can't decide which one to sell (if either).
e-mail me at redvette at comcast.net (@ for at, remove the spaces) for offers or questions.
Thanks
