An '03 with original case, paperwork, test-fired cartridge, but only one original mag.   We could not agree on price.   Pawn shop's best price was $1275.    Had to leave it there.

PMB Major! Nice pistols, the hump takes a little to get used to but fine guns and very accurate shooters. Back then they only came with one mag, most likely a blued one with 'Pointman' laser engraved on it. I agree with leaving it, some of mine I bought for around a thousand, most in the $900 range. But different times now. If it is clean and in very-good to excellent condition I could see going to $1100-1150 or so. JMO

About 6 years ago I found a Pointman Major C, very similar, in a pawn and Gun while on a trip to SC. Tight as a drum, Barney slide, no box, one mag, but it had revolver type front sight and Millett revolver style rear sight. As accurate as my 2012 Ruger 1911 but  the Ruger was loose. Both have unbelievable triggers. I will never part with either. The early Norwich (mine is one of Serva's first I think.) are exceptional and underrated. I paid $800 for it.

In March 2010, I brought this one home, I think I paid around $700 for it. It's a PMA-B "Pointman Aussie Blued". At the time, I thought it was a bit much, but really liked it because it seemed pretty unique. Today I don't think $1275 is too unreasonable, considering new ones have a price tag nearing the $1800 range.

BTW, when I bought it, the case looked terrible inside...

So I installed new foam & one of my ex's shirts that she left got repurposed as the fabric. lol2

Hey Dart, what do you mean by "the hump" on one of these?

The hump for the rear sight behind the ejection port on the Majors. You don't have one on the Aussie you have a target sight.
