Who knows what/where this pistol has been thru in it's 50 some year life. Looking at the pics closely shows some signs of use/handling or could be from rattling around in the case.
$275 with 5+ days to go.

Seals available here https://www.ebay.com/itm/Feinwerkbau-Mo ... SwnDZULXNJ
Possibly other places as well. Feinwerkbau does a good job of supporting their legacy products.
There are several YouTube videos on disassembly and reassembly.

I bought a seal kit from Nikkonos.

Pretty straightforward to install with a guide found online. There were some finicky bits during reassembly, but I don't remember what those were now.

Went for $660, pretty uneventful really. Didn’t notice initially there was a reserve or I wouldn’t have paid attention. eBay seems the place to get the most action and best prices.
