GaryBFI don't see one as a GOTM.

WARPIG602Hmmm, saw one for sale and figured it was aftermarket but the label shows: E26R-9-SN(got the label pic after I asked here) seems the SN would be Satin Nickel?

stoic-oneActually 2 questions:
1. GOTM? No.
2. 226R in factory nickel? I don't believe SIG was still using Klein Plating by the time the rail became "standard" on the P226. But anything is possible, I suppose. Did the label also have the production date on it?

stoic-oneMay well have been the last gasp for factory nickel plating in the 02-03 time frame. Wouldn't be very common...

Whoever they used after Klein, no one really knows, but definitely there were factory Ni P229R, and as WARPIG showed, P226R Ni. Not GOTM, though.
Klein stopped their firearm finishing business by the late 90s.

12131This Nov 2005 GOTM (now belongs to another member) is definitely not Klein.

What should such a piece go for? I've never come across one. Looks to be in exellent condtion but not NIB.

Have no earthly idea. But, I personally would put less value on these compared to the like-condition W. German/German all Ni guns.

WARPIG602This one is all Nickel too.
Maybe I'll grab it so I can further investigate.

That's what I meant, comparing all Ni P226s from early era to US made all Ni guns like "yours".

WARPIG602Its not nearly valued that high if going by GB prices.

Yep, been there since the dawn of time. Not worth the asking price.

rpm2010So "NK" on the label designates Nickel?
Wonder if I let some slip by...
