Interesting. . . . Merrick is just one county away from us here on Long Island. I wonder who is selling that one? It does have the correct carbon fiber grips set on it though!  ;-)

That is correct. We made that a special serial number for one of the two owners. There is another R9 out there with a similar serial number also. That is definitely from one of the owners of The Long Island Shooting Center in Islip, New York. That is just miles from my home.

I have relatives on the Island.  Probably right in your back yard.

Around when do you think this gun was produced?  Since it doesn't have a conventional serial number its a little more challenging for some like me to place...

I'm suprised the seller's other R9 didn't go for more.  It was all silver with Hogue grips and polished hammer and extractor. It also had the LISC serial number.  $805

Those two R9s were relatively early units. . . . . Somewhere around late 2,000s to mid 3,500s or so. I'd guess around 2006-07.

How to tell if it's a Robar?  Is it marked somewhere?  It's all silver with hogue grips and polished hammer, trigger, extractor and grip screws.

That was just a regular R9. Robar/Rohrbaugh R9s did not come out until a few years after this one. No markings on the R/R labeling it as such. . . . . Just the NP3 coated frame and slide and some internal parts to help smooth things out internally and the jewler polished pieces externally for the look. The R/R had some of the best triggers we ever produced due to the NP3 coating on the frame and main spring plunger. That smoothed every out quite nicely in fact. I also polished the sear bar surfaces. . . . that was key on the R/R.
