Not sure why? I tried both links and they took me to the correct post. They posted over 100 photos of all their pre-owned firearms so you might need to scroll down.

Those aren't factory plating jobs.

I'm definitely not an expert on Nickel Sigs- thats why I put "nickel" in quotations.

Is $699 a bad price? They have also been known to work a little on prices.

Who knows what's been done to them guns. They are definitely no longer original. Would not touch them at those prices. $400 each at best. But, some poor sap will see shiny and buy them at the listed prices.

I admit I am attracted to shiny objects- good thing I wasn't there in person.

That's not nickel. It's hard chrome.

I have actually looked at these in person. Yes, they are both aftermarket hard chromed, no box and only one mag. Not even close to the factory nickel run that Sig did many moons ago.

Could just be the photos... If they're were blued guns I'd say they were poorly/over polished.
Since they're not, I'd say they've had questionable prep work. Wink

I agree 10000%. APW from the late 80’s, I believe his name was Bob Coogan.
