Might have hit a jackpot on this pickup :D

#1 Unread post by Mrweaseluv »

Wanted a real nice Buffalo for my type set... after a lot of researching and shopping I finaly settled on a very nice MS66 1938d.. is common in MS grades but the big price jump comes at ms67 (from under 100 to 250-350 for a 67)
Well I found this one and thought it the best of all the 66s i looked at... well showed the pics to a friend that is a bit of a nickle nut... It seems (and I agree this far) that it is a D/S varitiy... now the question that has to wait for it's arrival is is it a FS 511,512 or 513.. the pics just not clear enough to tell which... Can't wait until it arrives on friday hehe :D
1st heres the MM with the nubs of the S pointed out below the slab.
