I'd want to see the box label specifying factory original nickel with SNs matching the gun.

But assuming everything's on the up-and-up, that beauty will go for a pretty penny.

That would be the 1st shiny nickel Sig I have seen.
My 229 is satin nickel a bit on the golden tan flavor.
My 95 nickel slide 220 looked similar to stainless. Little more flat in appearance.

I like seeing his 1600.00
I was told by someone that knows that my 229 is worth 1200 to 1600.00.
I would love to think so and this is my first indication.
Looks like 1600.00 is the absolute top though.

Hi,

1. W. Germany
2. Yes, 3 matching SN’s. Its all German.
3. I’ll check the date code & get back to you when I’m in the office.
4. Pic of side of box attached
We always “spray paint” SN’s on listings. If it winds up being yours, your SN isent out there forever for somebody to use on a fraudulent insurance claim.

Thanks for your interest.

HI. Interested in this Sig P220 Factory Nickel German listing. 1). Does it say on the Frame and Slide: GERMAN or W GERMAN? 2). Is it 3 matching serial numbered: Frame, Slide and Barrel (hood) ? 3). What is the 2 letter date code under the barrel chin? and 4). Picture of the box end showing the label with NICKEL. 5). On the pictures of the Test Target, on listing, is the serial number just blanked out, or is there an issue with the Test Target its self? If easier, you can email me pictures of these areas. Sorry to bother you with so many questions, but these are important as the the particular item. Thank you very much for your listing and time! Best Wishes.

I've reviewed the seller's feedback. 104 reviews, and all but one of them pretty glowing. Thanks to that and the photos that Duchess asked for, I'm satisfied that the pistol is the real McCoy.

Someone will probably buy this for the asking price eventually. Crazy things happen on GB all the time.

G 210 xxx is all I can read on the Test Target and the Box Label.
Sorry pics on my iPad did not show up well for the rest of you to see that much.

He says he blanks out rest of s/n, protecting the buyer so someone else can not turn in for an insurance claim.

Kinda sorta sounds nice, but it would be a leap of faith on the buyers end.

I find his quote a bit disturbing "not a stainless mut of dubious build and finish quality assembled in Exeter NH." I have a couple nickel P226's. but I also love my "Stainless Elite P226 "mut". To me that is a "turn off" insulting the Sig Sauer product in general. Sure some like the Germans ones more, but then there are the scores of others who like each equally. He wont get fans to be interested by insulting Sigs in general as IMHO many Sig lovers started out on the Exeter models and gradually developed a "taste" for the German ones.
