I just put a West German Sig 226 on lay away today. The price was $550. Looks like the gun had been refinished (and probably resprung) at the Sig factory. The slide was refinished in nickel (very nicely done) and the barrel and frame had no wear whatsoever, and looked to be factory refinished. Very tight slide to frame fit, and a great trigger. Overall I'm happy with this gun. To the best of my knowlege this was not a former CPO Sig. Let me know how I did on this purchase.
