Title: Farmie on GB - anyone here get it?
Post by: wildmanwill on January 06, 2013, 08:46:51 PM: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=323980057

"Practically brand new Rohrbaugh R9 9mm. Only 40 rounds have been through it! Perfect condition. Bought by my law enforcement girlfriend as an off-duty weapon but it's too powerful to shoot for her wrist. She paid $1500 for it new. Comes with case. Great pocket gun. Small and powerful. Call with questions..
Gun does come with original case, 2 mags, lock and instruction book. Everything is in immaculate condition!"

Apparently it was R284 and said R9s on the slide... Photo wasn't very good, so couldn't see if the grips were the original CF and which color...

Sold for $1180. Always nice to see the Farmies holding their value to a certain extent.

My "Farmie," which I have owned and carried daily for the past soon-to-be 9 years, has to me increased in value such that it is my firm intention, being of Norwegian extraction on the "sire side," to take it with me to Valhalla. 8)

I hear ya...when I asked additional info/photos the seller stated

" I had a hard time with the photos.. they came out distorted. I can assure you that the gun is in IMMACULATE condition! There's not a mark on it. She keeps it wrapped in a cloth in the safe. "

So I guess someone took his word for it. It was also in this same email exchange with him that I found out the slide said R9S on it and also the serial number.

I believe R283 just changed hands late last year (which ended up being a "Deerdale"). Doubt that owner picked up this gun, R284, but if they did that would be neat...to have sequentials.

Since Rohrbaugh, due to Hurricane Sandy, will not be at SHOT 2013 this year, I am posting a bit more than usual to the Forum. So, for anyone interested, here is a Farmingdale that has been able to "go out and play" a lot over the past 8-1/2 years -- dressed in a variety of grips and holsters. It has yet to display any vices.
