M73B1 Question

[Mike Haas]

Good observation Mike. (I think is the link to the eBay auction you speak of)

M73B1 Sniper Scope | eBay

That's it Harlen. I didn't post the link because I didn't want to break any forum rules. I'm not suggesting anything nefarious. Just thought it odd or a co-inka-dink!

I passed on the purchase of the scope as I did not think the seller and I could get to a final price that was acceptable. Nice fellow and seemed very honest, we were 1,000 miles apart and I usually buy locally which was not possible in this case. I suggested GB but he was a registered Ebayer and chose that route. I hope it ends up with someone that appreciates it.

He had noted that it came off a gun that his dad had for years. The gun was sold by a brother that had passed away so there was no tracking the gun down through the family, although that was the 1st thing that came to mind!

Thanks for everyone's help and comments.

A bunch of Forum members could have been able to provide more info had we had better pics/ details of the 'electro-penciled' Serial number. In either your intial post or in the 'Sellers' eBay listing. All forums opinions I saw were based on the info you received or the sellers eBay listing. The info provided in both venues limits the purchase price at $700.00 IMO.
