1688 19

So I called Glock today and had an interesting chat. Turns out my newly acquired Gen 2 G19 was among the earliest batch imported. There may be a few alphabetically before my SN of DP, but DP were the first Gen 2 G19’s to cross the ocean. May of 88 test fire date code. Unfortunately some knucklehead brought it to Glock for a full parts upgrade, and it does not have a box. Also the finish looks very ‘worn’. I will likely hang onto this one. Am I farting on the Mona Lisa to put it in my carry rotation, or is it pretty will stripped of added value with its silver internals and no box? BTW, obviously same Glock I paid $450 for mentioned in prior thread.

Congrats, Glocktapus, like I mentioned in your other post, I own a few G-19's with two letter prefixes BX,FA,GS, HA, HV, and TO, also two letter prefix G-17's KV and ZC, I keep mine stock all black as from the factory except ZC which my wife shoots and GS, that I used to carry, all are locked up in their original Tupperware boxes with their original NDF mags.

I shoot ZC, and GS, every now and then using Gen 3 mags.

If a DP prefix was in the first shipment from Austria, our "B" prefix models must have been on that same boat.
