That is a BEAUT!  How much?  Looks very nice.  I'm almost sure that is not the original finish

I have an 84 and got it from a buddy GI.  They basically came in a nice even blue (not dark super glossy like Bs), a parkerized finish, and the nasty enamel.  Franconia models MAY have different finishes but most of those I saw in German catalogues were black enamel. 

The only finish I'd respect is the blue or parked and in good shape.  The enamel wears off fast  If you shoot it ONCE with a ring on, you will chip the paint off. 

Having said that I picked up an enamel 88 recently because the finish was a bit better than my 84 and it came with box, papers and serialed mags.

It is a sweet looker, just not really into buying a gun that wasn't refinished by me. Plus, seller insists it is original, but doesn't have original box.
He's either lying or doesn't know any better.

If it shoots well, then that?s about the all the expectations one should realistically have for this one. It does have the waffle grips which were still common in 1985. Any original magazines provided? Otherwise you?ll have to use the ?OEM? SP-01 18 round mags. About $75-100 too high for me but I?m not looking to add to the collection [emoji3]. You might have different circumstances and plans for it. Good luck.

The finish in a sense IS everything in this case, and as you say - who did it is all important. 

A properly refinished PreB that is mechanically sound it worth every bit of $500.  A bubba job is worth $250.  And... it is ust plain dumb to do the safety, SS, sights, hammer etc.  The more I look at it, the more I say run away. 

It sill likely shoot fine.

I completely agree...I have given it a hard pass. It is located in Port St. Lucie, FL if anyone else is interested. You can find it on Armslist. I hope that's ok to say. Mod's please delete if not.
