Quick set of questions for you guys. I may have the opportunity to purchase an M2HB (fully transferable) with a post-war M3 Tripod... The owner is an elderly gentleman who I was put in touch with through a mutual friend. I spoke with him on the phone and he told me some details about the firearm... He said it is a side plate gun, having been built with a Stemple plate. He also said the plate was welded on. Now, I did some research and I have been unable to find any Stemple side plate M2HB's, only a few 1919a4's that I may have seen over the years... Did Stemple make these in any numbers? All the side plate M2's I see are RAMO's...
He is unable to get me photos but has assured me that it is a fully functional piece that he has had for many years. I have been invited to his home to see it in person and to also have it fire demonstrated on his property. I was just hoping to get some good information on it before I make the 2 hour trip to go see it. He said price is negotiable but would like to be between 20-30k on it, which seems about on-par with what I typically see.
I am not necessarily wanting to know if its a good deal, as I know that is a difficult question to answer without seeing detailed photos - but just curious to know if anyone has much experience with Stemple side plate M2's... Worth looking at or something to stay away from?
THANKS!
