Looks as though it spent a lot of time in a sock.
So much for buy the gun, not the story. :rofl:
Yeh. I wonder how it was documented, surely it had had some sort of 'proof' with it, or buyer was a damn fool!

It was just in a display case,along with common stuff.
I still have doubts of its real identity.
