I`m going to be looking at a SIG 228 on Mon. I could use some help to be sure it`s a West German made and proofed gun and all correct.
The serial number indicates a 1994 manufacturing date from the list on the SIG forums ( which I can`t join because they won`t take hotmail accounts..)
I understand that the pistol should have 3 visible matching serials numbers on the frame, slide, and side barrel breach ?
The bottom of the slide in front should have proof marks and 2 letters ?
Any other identifications or advice to be sure it is "right" would be much appreciated since it `s supposed to be NIB and it is very pricey.
