Date Code? Approximate Rounds fired? More pictures?

 

[dietrich]

Date code is AB, for 229's I believe that puts it at 1993.

I have fired 100 rounds, previous original owner said he estimated about 6-700 rounds total.

 

[All2kool]

Thanks. Grip panels should be dated but they could be 92's on a 93. I see it's missing a Grip Screw. Is the Slide original finish? Almost looks like it has been refinished.

 

[dietrich]

Oops, looks like I forgot a screw when I cleaned it last.

The finish I am not sure, not a sig expert. It does have what appears to be a little holster wear on the front end of the slide, I'll post more photo's tonight.

Comparing an enlarged photo to that of a known original finish P229 of that same era, I thinks it's a foregone conclusion that the Slide has been refinished. You can also determine with the 'finger test' - if you feel a difference in texture from the Frame to the Slide, it's been redone.

I was making inquiries for my active duty USAF son, who has been looking for a original condition TSN P229 for his collection.

 

[dietrich]

Ah ok, I had no idea. My father-in-law has one from 92 or 93 I think. I know for sure he never had it refinished. He's been thinking about selling it to buy a p227.

He would want a bit more than $550 for his.
