    Default baby browning?

    I was out the other day and saw a baby browning silver with pearl grips and never seen one before. I was offered a good deal to buy it but I was wondering if this is a rear gun? Wondering if I am going to kick myself for not picking this one up when I saw it.

    Info: One of the first years released in the us with book and in the original cardboard box. Silver with pearl grips (chip on top of grip were safety is located) Very shiny and clean with a gold tiger.

    I got a Colt 1908 Pocket Hammerless, basically the same thing, but in blue with black plastic grips. Not as nice as that, and certainly no box, for $300 on gunbroker a few months ago.

    I love the way they look but not fun to shoot. They are so tiny. Mine will just be a safe queen from now on.

    Checking gunbroker and i saw 2 similar models that had sold. 1 went for $400 and the other went for $700

    cool thank you it looks so cool but i was worried because it is soooo small that it might not be worth it. I called the guy and told him I'll take it. So now I got a baby browning.

    What a weird week I am tapped.

    First I find a colt army special 38 from 1911 in a basement sitting next to two m1917 enfields and a Japanese bring back all original with sling. Know I find this in a box just sitting in the corner at a friend of my dad's. Whats next Jimmy Hoffa in my basement!!!!
