Hello to all,
This is my first post so go easy as I'm new to the game. I just want to learn and have fun. Also let me say that that I've read through hundreds of your posts and am profoundly impressed with the wealth of collective knowledge you offer.
To the point:
I have gotten the itch for a BHP and from what I've read, the Belgians are a good way to go if you only get one. No need to explain why I'm attracted to these pistols - they speak for themselves asthetically.
The first BHP has a (looped?) hammer which I prefer over the spur. I'd say it's 95% with new looking wood stocks that are painted red on the inside. Good bore and crown with very little play in the slide/frame interface. 1 mag. Slide is stamped with "St Louis MO Montreal QP Belgium" SN on frame is 69C8309. Appears to be all stock. $649
The second is about 90% though the blue is not as "deep" looking. Grips have same red paint but checkering is worn and they have discoloration (not attractive). Good bore and crown with a spur hammer. Slide reads "Morgan UT Montreal QP Belgium" SN is on the front strap 74C13044 1 mousetrap and 1 reg mag for $599
I like the first one more but the blue book said $525. They are being sold on consignment. Any info on these would be appreciated and are they priced right or should I offer less? Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
I promise to be more concise in the future!
