Tod, that must be a Model 51 on the bottom. Not common around here. The last 51 I saw was a real beater with a NIB price tag. I picked up a decent 651 a few years ago, but it wouldn't shoot worth two cents.

I picked up my 43 about two years ago, the front sight has some surface discoloration on one side but I have a spare should I ever decide to replace it. I couldn't pass it up as I've only seen one locally in the last 15 years.

I'm not sure it had been fired, but had no box or paperwork. I figured it wasn't close to 95% with the front sight issue so started shooting it some. Dang thing has tight chambers, but empties extract easy.

Back in the early 70's dealers couldn't give them away. I can't say how many I passed up. They were selling for around $100 then.

Best,
JB
