Just got home with my new-to-me WG P226 and wanted to answer a few questions, plus a comment or two...
#1: It DOES include the test target, plus all additional paperwork. S/N matches on gun, target, and box, so all original.
#2: Date code is JJ, so 1988 -- right at the beginning of the Herndon rollmark date range.
Comments: 1#: Not quite as pristine as it initially looked under the dimmer light of the fun store, but still at LEAST 98-99% condition. Shows a barely noticeable amount of wear on the front edges of the slide, most likely from being in a holster. Otherwise looks mint!
#2: Night sights are pretty much dead, so will order a set of Night Fision sights for it soon.
#3: Rails are NOT "mud rails", but "scalloped rails" per Q's explanation and photos on previous page. I just misremembered the number of cuts in the rails when posted earlier that there were three...
Am I still happy with the purchase? You're darned right I am!!!
Not feeling well at the moment so will get pics later this evening to post...This message has been edited. Last edited by: bronicabill,

Yeah, those rail cuts are exactly the same as the ones on my KB posted above. Everything looks great.

You'll have trouble beating me there since I live less than 5 miles away, AND I practically live there! But good luck trying!

Is the magazine floor plate extend slightly forward of the front strap and have P226 stamped on the bottom?
