Thanks to all who responded to my add offering the M9 for sale. Much to my delight and amazement it has been sold and is on it,s way to a very happy new owner. My pond will be dug just as soon as six feet of ice and snow melt from the site. Thanks also for the great lesson I received about the history of the M9. I also had my faith in my fellow man bolstered by the dealings I have had here with members of this forum. You are a great bunch of people.
Regards from the frozen Adirondack Mts.
