So if you look at everything , it thinks it is a 9 (Assuming the stamps on the grips are legit)
but it is clearly not one.
I am concerned about the condition as it is too good, the bluing is as good as a colt python.
So any help on what it is , what it is worth and so on.

Here is my problem , I" hope" there is something wrong with it , as I do not own it ( I really want to ) so I am hoping it has little value so I can afford to buy it from the owner.
Unfortunatly I am an honest person and wouldn't lie about its value to the owner.

Ok, It is not a Red-9. I am having a difficult time with your pictures. Here are my observations. The serial number is too high, see previous post. The sight goes up to 1000, see previous post. It is apparently in .30 caliber.

So the grips have been altered or are off a different gun. It appears to be matching but it also appears that some parts if not all have been re-finished. It is difficult for me to asses value but personally I would not want it if the price were more than 1K and would prefer a lot less.

Sorry I am not good at taking pictures.
The only thing that makes sense is the grips came from a different gun and someone stamped them to match the rest of it.


Unless there is some other explanation I think that it actually de- values the gun. Personally I think 500 is a fair value ( assuming someone did something less than honorable in marking the grips)


Or it is an extremity rare manufacturing mistake (like the upside down airplane stamp) and it is worth a bazillion bucks.


its still a way cool gun
