Ok, these were purchased back in 92/93 by the US Marines for CQB training on Subase Bangor, in Wa. Well, a few were liquidated and I snaged them up and am restoring them.
The Marines, not happy with simply counting the markers in the armory, used an electric etcher to put a number on the left hand side of each marker. The polishing job I have done has taken most of that number out but it is still visable under the right light at the right angle. Just FYI. All have been taken apart and cleaned and lubed with the exception of removing the valve. They all have the old style valve, and I lack a sheridan valve tool. Upon reassemble, they were all shot and preformed with out leaks. The grip pannels slip/rotate slightly but that is minor. Asking $75 obo each for these pieces of beautifull brass ( I have 5)that have served our country so well.
