Lt CHEGSuper jealous. Congratulations on an excellent acquisition!
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” August 07, 2025, 06:41 AM
ShackThanks. Some elbow grease was used before these pics. Shop owner said, he picked it up in an estate sale… and I’m thinking, maybe I should frequent these type of events.

Rick LeeI got one of those by posting a WTB here a few years ago. Such a cool gun.

elberettasBEAUTIFUL!!!

iron chefDid it come w/ the original box? I believe the box label is the only way to tell if the nickel was OEM or not.

Shack- Obviously, I’m not the original owner.
- there is no original box
- I have no documentation from sig of its authenticity
It’s just a beautiful old sig, that’s in great condition. It was priced accordingly. I do have a 226 with the aforementioned characteristics, thought this could be a fun shooter. It cleaned up so nicely though, and I believe has the potential to be an actual German ni… might just leave it in the safe.

sigmonkeyThe U 124 is about 1985. I believe the "factory" nickel began around '89.
But it is still a fine pistol and finish even if it is not a "factory" article.
