Yeah, but if that serial should match the one my uncle is missing, I would most definitely want to approach the matter in
a manner that will not stir up any trouble here on the forum.
The last thing I'd want to do is act in an aggressive or hostile manner toward a fellow arfcommer, without provocation,
and even then I'd rather do thing properly rather than just go into jerk mode.
At this time I have no information that indicates the gun in question is the one that was stolen from my uncle or anybody else.
But it's a visual match according to my own admittedly not recent memory and the specific type, with nazi proof stamps, and apparently
refinished in nickel, NOT with the best workmanship, and worn and somewhat pitted, is rather uncommon. Not insanely rare, but certainly
not something you'll find at every gun show. You can understand my interest under these conditions.
Hopefully my uncle will check his records and say "Nope, that's not it, but thanks for keeping your eyes peeled for me!" and that'll be that.
