Ok, just had this dropped into my lap.
The #1 Pre-Production 45 Professional is For-Sale.
For those not totally familiar with what a Pre-Production model is, well, there are, Proof of concepts, then Proto-types (can be one in the same), followed by Pre-Productions, and then Production Models.
The 45 Professional had, exactly, two Proto-Types, and went right into the Pre-Production models, of which there are only twelve and were produced to prove out the Production Tooling.
The Number ONE Pre-Production weapon has come on the market and can be bought for $15,000 dollars. I have seen two others sold and they went for $18-$20,000.
Comes with a signed letter, from me, documenting its authenticity and numbered position.
The man who owns this #1 Pre-Production, died this last Saturday and his wife wants to sell the rifle.
This is an investment and a darn good one. PM me if you are interested and I will forward the contact information..t
