A little more JMB goodness, early 1903!

Not the four digit SN I had my eye on, but on the other hand this one didn't require any US Govt. level "creative budgeting" to be affordable....

Nice photo. I appreciate your knack for lighting and staging. You must have quite a supply of props.

I used to do commercial work for a living, so I have a ton of "junk" around to throw into photos for atmosphere! The occasional photo is my excuse for keeping it all in the garage....

I recently purchased a 1918 Type 3, but it doesn't present as well as yours.

Patina.
The 1903's prices other than private sales, just have gone through the roof, many not in the best condition are priced way high.

What a beautiful pistol. I'm really impressed by the remaining case coloring on the safety and trigger.

That is so cool. Very nice score.

Same here. Even with the tiny sights, it’s quite accurate and points so naturally.
