Tim:

I have a minty M3 which was CLA'd by Gerry Smith at Kindermann over the 
summer.  I am out of town until Sunday, but I think its serial number was 
9.6m or 9.7m.  It is a single stroke in ex++ to near mint condition.  No 
dents, just a few shiny spots on the base plate and the top plate.  The 
range finder is bright and clean.

  Over the past few weeks I have been going over my gear and decided I 
don't need three M3s and should sell one.  This one I am selling is the 
nicest of the three.  I want $1,200 for it.

Regards,

Robert
