The overall build quality & consistency is quite good if you are contemplating a P. Repro.

Checkering, while effective, often leaves a bit to be desired on many.

Beyond the typical checklist when considering a double..just seek out your desired configuration and be prepared to act fast if it's a gun that speaks to you for whatever reason preceded by a few close up photos to assure build quality and represented condition overall.

Edgar,
When someone calls a gun with a lot of case wear, refinished wood and incorrectly recut checkering a "lightly used, high condition gun". I see a problem with that.

The way i see it, using the term "high condition" means high ORIGINAL condition. Maybe i interpret that incorrectly...

Brian, While 'High Condition' isn't as overused as 'Minty', it's still tiring. I'd like a buck for each time it was used in the descriptions in the most recent, well publicized gun auction. That notwithstanding, there's no correlation between 'condition' and 'originality'.

*FLASH* This just in. The Gun has been purchased by a member who just called me, and agreed, it's in 'high condition'. He told me I could quote him "I'm as happy as a dead pig in sunshine" I guess that's happy, just never heard that one before.

Saw that quick sale coming from a mile away..congrats to the new owner on a very nice purchase.

Now we await close ups of the checkering :corn:

Priced way under the market for a 28 in any condition.

I am so.....so glad someone bought that temptation. And I am really glad it was member here as that was a hell of deal as far as I was concerned.

A dead pig in sunshine would definitely be in high condition!
