Got both of mine in.  Finish on both is quite worn - one of them looks almost sandblasted on the slide.  I am guessing it is from sand in holsters over many years of service.  Rails on both look great.  Both have some rattle in the frame to slide fit, but the barrels lock up rock solid.  Both are 1993 West German marked guns only 53 apart from each other in serial number.  Both are all matching (barrel, slide, frame) with the barrels being stamped matching.  In case you didn't know, you have to disassemble the gun to find the original stamped serial number on the barrel.  It is on the left side of the chamber and is hidden by the slide when assembled.  Both shoot pretty well with what ammo I had on hand.  Offhand at 30 yards, they kept all shots on a mini-IPSC steel target, even in rapid fire.  I didn't shoot for groups, but will later.  Had a couple light strikes on el-cheapo Tula ammo, but it still shot well.  Each gun has a Star of David stamped into the left side of the frame.

Overall, I can't complain.  I could wish they had a bit more finish, but they are a neat piece of history.

I coated one of mine in graphite black cerakote and installed a new factory spring kit. The other will stay original. <a href="http://s344.photobucket.com/user/ff162162bfd/media/IMG_3542_zpshqfz7abx.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i344.photobucket.com/albums/p355/ff162162bfd/IMG_3542_zpshqfz7abx.jpg</a>

Israeli surplus? I have one that looks just like that the frame rails are white no anodizing, but it shoots great with lots of grease on the rails. I don't shoot it much due to the wear. It did well one a one day Bruce Grey class a few years back though.

Well I got in late on this and got one of the rougher ones I suspect. Don't know yet what I'll end up doing with it TBH but I've always wanted an Israeli Sig.






Frame serial number is in the 2002 range with expected wear.





















I would love to known what marks these are.

























US assembled slide, with matching serial numbered barrel.


















The 228 has been shot a lot.

























I may just shoot it once then put it in the safe. I just love the history.
