Weight and careful packing has a high shipping cost. As seen in the pictures the previous owner had two points wired to the frame, obviously they were worried that it may fall off the frame when hung up. The decision to remove those wires is left up to the next owner, as I would have to remove the COA attached to the back. This is a vintage item and appears to be in excellent condition. There could be some minor nicks here and there on the gun and display (from aging and handling), but nothing too obvious.This replica gun contains the colored markings required by law, including a permanently attached orange plug. If you have any questions please ask before bidding.I do not ship internationally and only accept pay pal...payment due upon completion of sale.Shop with confidence thanks for looking.
