A surprise in the safe

[1gunsnotenough]

I have three NIB MK678Gs in the safe. Local Gun Club last Saturday had a swap meet. So I pulled the MK678G that was in the plastic box as trading material. Other two are in the yellow cardboard boxes and I have a hard time selling those. So get to the swap meet and a I open the box just to get a better look at the gun. Hadn't had it out in awhile and guess I never looked at it closely. But it ended up being a factory D&T model and I did not know it. Have been searching for one for years. So of course it went back home with me. Had a couple of guys drooling over it but I had to tell them No Sale. But interesting part and maybe how I missed it all factory D&T models have had a B in a circle stamped on the label. This one doesn't. All my other D&T models are a 225-prefix, This one is a 226-prefix. Plus being NIB and immaculate I know it as to be factory.

I have no idea what D&T is but that's a beautiful gun.

Drilled and Tapped. At the end of the MKII line they D&T the last few as they changed over to the MKIII. MK678G 500 or less were D&T.

Ya gotta learn to create a spreadsheet of your guns to keep up with all the details. Only way to keep up with the little things you need to know.
Glad you saw it BEFORE you sold/swapped it away.
