3 Million Serial
Original Receipt for $450.00 USD
Purchased from a US AD
Correct Instructions, Unfilled punch warranty paper, tags and anchor...

David,

Great find !!!!

Question:

1. Was the gentleman aware of its value when he sold it?

P.S. It's a stainless steel "red" sub right?

It is a 1680 Stainless Red Sub

The gentleman is not a collector and was aware of its value. I made him a Gentleman's promise and intend to keep it....
