I made my offer.  It's worth it to someone at asking price.....just not to me.

It's a dealer listing it but it's on consignment.

Sorry to hear that, probably means a bit harder to get (as you are finding out). 

Keep working the dealer, maybe he will convince the seller to let it go.

Best of luck to you.  Would like to see it go to someone who will take care of it properly.

Those frames were anodized. This one appears to have corrosion from possibly sitting in a humid environment and not being wiped down with oils every so often. You really need to check any of your firearms stored in a safe once in a while and service them to keep them in top order. That is a shame as you wouldn't be able to get rid of those marks without some work bead blasting at a low pressure and back a few inches away, not right on the work, with very fine glass beads. As far as the pistol itself, those were the end of our run and there are not many made like that. The top of the barrel shows hardly any wear at all! It looks like maybe two or three magazines through this one. Nice gun overall.

I'd wait a few days, if no bids, make him another offer.  Soon you might find out where he really needs to be on it.  As a dealer he probably doesn't have an emotional attachment to it, which is a bonus for you.

Good Luck,

It didn't get a bid the first go round.  The seller didn't take my offer that left me room to refinish the gun.  I really just wanted the blue grips 🤣

Rohrbaugh R9 (all variations) / Re: Serial Numbers for Last Rohrbaughs Made

R6336 was the actual last R9 to be made. We had a few frames that came back from being treated in different color coatings and this one was the last frame lying around before Remington bought the company. I built this out of many special coated and polished hand-picked parts we had at the time, also just lying around the shop. 
It currently resides in my home safe along with serial number 2, essentially as "A First and The Last Rohrbaugh R9 Pistols" made."
R6336 happens to be a very special firearm that is rather jewel-like. 

They will eventually go to my son when my time comes.

  Fantastic!

"Not many tiny 9mm pistols out there with DA and exposed hammer."

Exactly.  That can be a significant feature should you come across hard primers using a striker-fired pistol when the chips are down.

That is jus one plus.
 Striker fired pistol is cocked 7/8 and ready to fire, no turning back. Exposed hammer gives you a visual and an actual feel what position it is in, and when in my pocket, I want it at rest.
