Farmingdale #143 S slide Original Blues SPF
« on: December 13, 2013, 07:14:35 AM »
Selling one of my prizes,a Farmie with original blue grips and a non R prefix serial number. Has the R9S designated slide!!
I bought this from original owner and sold to a member of this board. Regretted selling and "repurchased".. It was one of the only non Rs that was on the board for a long time.

Pup is in great shape,appears to be only one little scuff on back of grip(frame)but has only been shot a handful of times as this was a collector piece, but can still be used for Pup purposes!!
Has the most beautiful blue carbon fiber grips that you will ever see!! One of the first 48 early grey anodized frames.

I have paperwork stating this guns provenance by Karl Rohrbaugh that will come with gun,along with a couple early brochures/pamphlets,box. Edit to add that spare mag also included.

Will try to ad pics but I'm new to doing so with my cell,but will do so later with computer if needed.

Asking 1700.00. Will consider including shipping for a serious buyer. Ask anyone that has dealt with me,I'm pretty easygoing and would like this to go to someone that appreciates the history of these Farmies!!

Thanks for your consideration and feel free to PM/email any questions.

There can be no doubt about the provenance of 143.

And also in April, for that is when we saw the Rohrbaugh's selling some of their personal guns!

This sure would be a nice one to have!  Good luck with the sale!

It would make a great Christmas present for sure!
I am willing to entertain offers for this fine Pup but I will say that when I bought it the second time I paid 2k. Thought it was worth every penny!
This is the only place I've listed this,I'd really like someone here to get a shot at this at a good price for them too I would hope.

I remember a few years back we had a forum auction for one with paperwork, etc and there was only 1 bidder, if I recall correctly...

I think that we as Pup owners don't put as much "value" as we should,into them.
As an "OP" (original Pup) owner, I have always felt that the first of our kind are a seperate breed and oh so valuable.

It is what it is,a beautiful,Farmingdale made,hard to come by,piece of working art!

Thanks again all.

A merry Christmas to all my fellow R brothers!!

And to make someone's Christmas even better- a Santa deal!

Don't know what else to say, except that I hope someone will appreciate this special Pup!!

Merry Christmas!!

Whew, glad I have limited internet access while away and didn't see this earlier.

Adam, I hope that maybe you are able to end up with a collectable pup in the kennel again.  This would be a great one to have!

I guess the Tribute is still a few months out yet, right?

Merry Christmas brothers.
