Definitely a great find. These little precision gems are truly a work of art---one of the smallest, if not the smallest semi auto ever made.

Indeed. It was kind of right place, right time type of situation. Thing is, I probably could have gotten it way cheaper but wouldn't have felt good about myself if I had. Long story, but the owners just wanted to get rid of it because they were moving into assisted living. I explained to them that the pistol had real value, especially in its condition, and to do some research. I even showed them GunBroker to look up prices. I told them to check with family to see if anyone wanted it before offering it to a virtual stranger but to call me with how much they wanted for it if nobody they knew wanted to buy it. They called yesterday with their price ($350). I told them they could easily get more, but they said they were comfortable with that since I hadn't tried to take total advantage of them. In the end, both sides were happy. I got a nice pistol at a great price, and they got rid of a gun they were afraid to handle with some money to boot.

Very well done — you’re an honorable man.
