Something very special for sale…
Rohrbaugh R9 Elite – Serial No. R2225. This is the SECOND R9 Elite ever made, as evidenced by Eric Rohrbaugh’s initals and “#2” on the outer box. I’m sure Eric will corroborate my story.
This R9 was presented to me in appreciation for my efforts with the Rohrbaugh forum in August 2007.
Included in the sale:
R9 Elite R2225
2 factory magazines
VZ Grips G-10 grips in “rosewood” color (shown on gun) with extra grip screws and Allen wrench
Original factory G-10 grips
Extra recoil spring
All paperwork, including owner’s manual, disassembly manual, safety lock instruction insert, and original “Made in U.S.A.” red hang tag
Original cable lock
Original plastic factory box
Original outer cardboard box, with labels and ECR initials
K&D Holsters Pocket Defender pocket holster— in black Herman Oak Leather with genuine stingray trim
For those who don’t recall, I was one of the original partners in K&D Holsters, along with Kevin Manley. K&D was one of the big suppliers of Rohrbaugh holsters in the early years.
This gun is in pristine condition, but has been fired. I would estimate about 20 rounds only. No functional problems.
It is very difficult for me to value this gun—it is a piece of history, and one of a handful of Elite guns produced. With all the original parts and packaging, this is a great collector’s piece. As much as I love Rohrbaugh guns, I am just not a gun collector.
The rules of the forum have required a price for any item listed for sale. However, this is a unique item, and the rules don’t really apply to me.
I invoke forum admin privileges this time around. I don’t know how much to sell this for, although I am sure the price is north of $1,500. If you are a seriously interested buyer, please send me an email at duane-at-daiker.net. If I get any offers I will consider them over the next few days, or a week, and then make a decision. However, I have a "buy it now" price in mind that will trigger an immediate acceptance. That price may or may not be reasonable, I don't know!
Thanks for looking! Duane (DDGator)
