Congratulations Ken. I saw it an was gonna go after it but, just felt a bit greedy since I have a nice M90 already. I alerted Caution (who also has an M90) that I was talking with the seller. I honestly didn't feel up to the drive, but didn't want to let it get away. I remember wishing I had Ken's cell phone to alert him. Caution told me he had already passed the 411 to Ken. I then told the seller to sell it only to Ken. The seller and I went on talking away, as he too was law enforcement (retired).

The Seller told Me he bought it new on a U.S. base in Seoul, South Korea in 1982. And, it travelled with him to Hawaii, California, and finally, Washington State. He said he's only taken it outside once, ever, and only plugged it in. And, would wrap it in cellophane when not in use. Here are some pics he sent Me, including his own last Selfie holding his beloved M90.

Thanks for posting the pics Adam! I totally wanted to take one of him when I bought but was in a little shock and I forgot to ask. I'm glad you got to talk to him more and got more of a background on it.

I know he told me he got it in 82 as well, but I think it make have actually been 83, based on the stamps in the box, put it around April 1983.

He asked me if I knew you before selling it to me, so I thought that was pretty cool.
