I bought an old piece of paper...



And the BHP came with it...

It has the magazine disconnect, so it's dated as a 1942. Not bad for a 72 year old pistol that is still desired. Having the bring back papers adds some to the value. It's got the original finish with honest wear in the right spots. Some rust under the grips, as well as the front and back straps. I still need to take it down to parts for serious cleaning, as the slide and barrel have some really old oil in the lugs. I have no idea how long it's been since it was cleaned, but it's been awhile.

I picked it up from a friend of my daughter's boyfriend. He got it after his grandfather died a few years ago, and doesn't want it...he'd rather have the money to put towards a a used pick-up. The kid set the price and I agreed...that was before he produced the papers. I won't say what I paid, but it was a price that only a fool would have passed up.
