No one except the customer really knows what was charged for the first generation GG guns, but we have a pretty good idea of the price of a raw unengraved Galazan A-1 Special. The question is, how do we tell them apart. I have never studied the markings on the original Gournet guns, nor have I studied the markings on the Tony guns.
Bill,

I don't know if this is an indicator, but look at the difference in the markings and engine turning on a factory engraved A1 vs the one on Gunbroker. Also note the water table on the factory engraved gun has "A-1" ahead of the serial number and an "A" on the barrel flats (vs a "B" on the Gunbroker gun).

Looks to me like an in-the-white gun that was engraved later.
