Greetings all,
I am new to this forum and would like to introduce myself. I have quite a love affair with revolvers, but every once in a while, a semi-auto catches my eye.
Today, I stumbled across an Interarms imported P99 in 9x19 that is essentially new in the box. It has the factory target, two magazines, tools, sights, extra grip backs, and the owner's manual.
On several occasions, I have handled the S&W 99 and liked the feel, but have often wondered about having an original "all German" P99, though I have read that all the 9mm P99s are all German.
Would it be safe to say that the one I'm considering picking up is a more desireable version? I believe it is a mid 8000 serial number, and as I stated it looks as though it has never been shot beyond the factory test firing.
I'm looking forward getting to know more people on this forum, and of course, if I pick up the P99, I'll post some pictures when it comes home.
One last question, what would be a fair market value for the P99 in question?
Best regards,
Michael
