I contacted the guy who was selling the FAL and the Bridgeport M1 and asked if he would sell them seperately. He agreed and we have struck a deal...U.S. Property Stamped, matching upper and lower. Owned by a PD after the war.. I'll have all the history soon..

Hawkeye--
You again prove the adage, the early bird catches the worm. Excellent job getting a nice prize! I look forward to a nice range report from you when it arrives.

I wasn't as early as others but maybe it was that ol' "silver tongue" of mine. 
Maybe I should try talkin' a bar down outta a tree...

Silver might have had something to do with it, but I think green was the color that was of greater importance.

Hi Guys,
Hawkeye Joe, Congratulations on your new aquisition. She's a Looker.
Does anyone know if the LaFrance FAL is still available?
I've been looking at FALs for months.
Thanks,
Johnny

Johnny.45,
Call him, it possibly is. I told him I would post it with those pics. I think it's a real buy, if I had more of that green that sniper's talkin' about I'd have gone for the 21K deal...
Sniper,
What do you think makes all those ol' tongues silver? That's how us ol' farts get those good lookin' babes too...

14K 50/50 plus transfers and shipping. He would have paid for 1st transfer and shipping if I'd paid 100% up front.
