Description

1/6/23 - This is an interesting and authentic U.S. Army issued Sig Sauer M17 pistol, with certificate of authenticity from Sig Sauer. This particular example is accompanied by a FOIA request by a previous owner, which indicates it was sent to B CO, 96th Aviation Support Battalion, 101st Airborne. The FOIA document highlights every stop along the way for this pistol, from initial manufacture to its return to Sig Sauer years later. From the COA, "This pistol was fielded during the initial domestic and in-theatre deployment of the Modular Handgun System Program. It was manufactured under contract with the U.S. Army to the original specifications, color and configuration of the MHS Program, including the coyote external controls, orange and green night sights, magazines, markings, components and coatings. It also includes the original exclusive government serial number." The pistol is all original with only light handling wear and a mint bore. It comes in the matching surplus box with two spare magazines, manual and gun lock. FFL required.
