Looks like a standard TPH, not a steel frame ... nice pistol!
Then how can he "insist" that it's steel?The seller states that he does not have the Walther TPH on hand at this time. ....
Either way you would just be buying a ticket to a dispute.As is, No exchange or refund. I may be reading the instructions incorrectly, however, for this sale requires a credit card only. Also another point I am not certain on, but if the frame is not steel, does that fact make the sale a case of a misleading listing that may require a full refund via Gun Broker rules?
So many TPHs were bring promptly re-sold that BATF changed its ruling to authorize import and sale only to a police department, not to individual officers. That slowed things down quite a bit, but BATF could not prevent the department from then disposing of those guns to its individual officers....
Some how Walther got the ATF to allow sales to LE.
All that was needed was the Chief or commanding officer to sign off.
