.... which best I can tell is bigger than a 92. It's in a locked display case at a local gun shop with the owner's other "toys". The staff doesn't have the key, and no photographs are allowed.

On first glance, it appears to be a Beretta 92 in stainless. I own a 92FS... this gun looks bigger... and it's absolutely gorgeous. It's also stainless-looking, although the frame and slide appear to be the same stainless color. This isn't the case with my 92.

There are all sorts of crazy markings on the slide. A worker from the shop said it was braille.

The pistol sits on top of a metal fold-open case, which also has all sorts of bizarre markings.

I'd be happy to look at this pistol again on subsequent visits should anyone have specific questions.

Thanks,

Steve

I think they run close to a Billenium! :D


Actually, this one sold for $2,650 on Gunbroker last year.
