I believe in peace, love and extremely violent weapons systems... just in case that whole peace-and-love thing doesn't work out.
OP, Congrats!! Nice score.
I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Have had a west german 226 for 6 years. Just found a west german 228 at a gun show, mint with box, manual, test target, for a good price. Been looking for years for one in nice condition for a fair price. Also have a german stamped 220 duo tone. I'm a CZ guy first, but always on the lookout for older german and west german sigs.... among other things

you dont want one older than 1988. That wst the first year they beefed up the frame rails.

No they didn't beef up the rails. You're thinking of the mud scallops SIG incorporated on the P226 in 1986 (maybe '87?) which they ditched after a short time. So a P226 before or after the year of the mud scallops will be fine. Hard to find a P226 that old. I see more Browning BDAs than I do P226s older than '88.
Great find! I carried one of those on patrol for years starting back in 1989. Had that and a 1991, P220. In a fit of stupidity, I traded my 226 for a 229 in .357 when my PD authorized the caliber.
Should have just bought the 229 outright instead of trading. My God I miss that old 226. It kept me safe for several years from things that went bump in the night. In all my years, that's the one I wish I never would have let get away.
