Really nice find. Looks like sub 15 shots done, if any at all! Man those grips are looking so good!Found this 39-2 over the weekend at the big Tulsa show. I have had one of these before but let it get away for some reason that I can’t remember. This one is in original box and with three mags. Looks to me to be about 99.9 %. Seems to have been shot very little. I plan to change that.

Nice acquisition! I was looking for a good condition 39 for a long time. Haven't found one yet, but I did manage this unfired 539 from an estate sale. A good price a few years ago.

Correct! The first commercially successful American made pistol in 9mm Parabellum; the first commercially successful American made pistol featuring DA/SA trigger mechanism. I have one in my 'historically significant' collection. And I've shot it, like it well.The original American “Wonder Nine”! Great find!
Had a Model 52 for some years shooting bullseye in a local group. Then had it for several years after that group disintegrated. Then sold it to a fellow I know. (Target days are over.) Sad to sell it, but it was time....and even bought a 52...Moon
