*EXTREMELY RARE ONE OF A KIND SCORPION M84B SEMI-AUTO PISTOL.

*EXTREMELY RARE ONE OF A KIND SCORPION M84B SEMI-AUTO PISTOL. SN 0101. Cal. 7.65 mm (32 ACP). This rare pistol is the only one in existence in semi-automatic configuration imported by Mitchell Arms and so marked on left side of frame. It was produced in Yugoslavia for Mitchell Arms as a test sample to be submitted to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms (BATF). In a letter dated April 20, 1990 the BATF responded to Don Mitchell of Mitchell Arms advising that this pistol had accrued a score of 95 points on BATF Form 4590 which factors criteria for weapons to be imported. They state that based on this score this pistol met the requirements for importation under Title 18 United States Code. They did state that the model designation “84B” would be required to be stamped on the pistol. Although this model of semi-auto pistol was approved for importation, to this cataloguer’s knowledge no others were ever imported, there having been a Congressional ban on the importation of “assault weapons” shortly after this one was brought in. This pistol is described as having about a 4″ bbl with shielded pin front sight and a 2-position flip rear sight marked “75” and “150”. The upper frame is of stamped sheet metal with the lower frame cast alloy and it is fitted with thumbrest black composition 1-pc grip with a lanyard attachment in the butt. Similar to a number of European pistols, the Scorpion fires from a detachable box magazine mounted in front of trigger guard. The bolt is retracted by means of two knobs, one on each side the of front frame which connect to the bolt. Left rear side of lower frame has a swinging thumb safety marked “FIRE” and “SAFE”. Right side of lower frame is marked with the manufacturer’s name & country of origin. Accompanied by an orig pigskin leather pouch containing two spare magazines. Also accompanied a copy of the BATF letter and a letter from Mr. Randy Bessler, well known handgun dealer, to the consignor who was the buyer of this pistol. PROVENANCE: Don Mitchell Arms Inc, Randy Bessler. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus. Appears to be new & unfired retaining virtually all of its orig factory finish with only a small scrape from the thumb safety. Grip is equally new. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. Pouch & spare magazines appear to have never been used. 4-38021 JR293 (6,000-10,000)
