Absolutely mint unfired Polish radom

[buckle1]

I know there have been discussions on the fact that grading on fire arms is not a science. But I wanted to show a Radom that in my opinion is like new /unfired to get some comments. I bought this a year ago for a exceptionally good price and will never be able upgrade it.

The pistol looks nice, but we could evaluate it with much more accuracy if you take photos outdoors in natural light. Also, do not use a white background as it bounces light back and darkens the subject matter; I find that a old tan or burgundy towel works well.

Again, nice looking item and I think everyone would welcome any better photos you are able to post.

I agree with Alan, pics in natural light are best.

Given these pictures I'd agree with you, looks minty

They gave all been fired. That is how they proofed them.

Very nice, my favorite WW2 hand gun , along with the US 1911 Colt G'ment and Norwegian licensed Kogsberg Colt 1914...

I agree with the others. Need to take photos in natural light.

The gun has a test fire proof on it, so it's definitely been fired, fyi.

My mistake. I know it has been test fired but other than that I do not believe it was ever issued .I am also showing two more photos taken outdoors but they do not do the bluing finish justice, as it is much more closer to my first photos.

In gun collecting if a gun has not been fired outside the factory it is considered as being new and unfired. The proof firing was a procedure in the assembly of the gun.

On the Colt 1911/1911A1 the barrels were proofed fired in a fixture. No need to damage a new gun with a defective barrel, so barrel proofing was done first.

John,

Thanks for that. I am sure this pistol has not been fired, there is not a mark on the bolt face nor the ramp. The pistol is tight and I have not messed with it. I is also a very early pistol w/stock slot as you can see.
