I saw this used CF-98 with a dealer in pindi. The pistol appeared to be in good condition. But kindly check these tooling marks near the locking lugs of the barrel and also the way the in which the serial number is carved into the barrel. The serial number was also carved in the same way inside of the frame. Shouldn't the serial numbers be stamped on these parts, like it is on the slide, in a standardized font. Are these things normal for an authentic CF-98 ?

Serial number is fine on the barrel is fine
It should be on the feed ramp where the slide rides

I don't think there was anything else engraved on the barrel. These are all the pictures I was able to take. The serial number is also carved on the frame the same way as it is done on the barrel. The picture isn't clear, but I have highlighted it. So, these tooling marks on the barrel are normal ?Originally Posted by shahroze

I am talking about the black piece the connector where the slide rides and the guide rode goes in.
It's original as far as I can tell.
It's blur in the first picture and 3rd picture with the trigger unit

Strangely, the part you are referring to, had a different number on it, than the serial number stamped on the rest of the parts.

No it looks like it, due to the blurred pictures.

Found these pictures on the net for reference.

There is something about guns that just makes me get up and write. I was going to sleep until I saw your reply. So to cut it short I'll explain it in the best possible way I can.
For example a serial number of the gun is 01489 12 236
Now the magazine should have 01489-1 and 01489-2 stamped on them near the base. The frame should either have 01489 or 01489 12
The same number on the barrel
Same on the connector which you say has different number and even on the trigger unit. Which is the part which sits in the polymer frame.
Even any of the don't match leave it.
It's okay if they don't write 12 with the number or 236
But if a number is totally changed I'd leave it.

Thank you so much for bearing with my novice questions, and for a such a detailed reply.

Also the "C" in "Made in China" is not capitalized. As far as I know the Chinese are proud of their Country and always Capitalize their Country Name.

I agree with you.
And the dealer was asking 95k for it.

It appears to be a mix of original (used) parts and local parts. Window shoppers aside, serious buyers are still buying NIB CF98 under 100K. Dealers behave differently when a serious buyer enters with cash in pocket.
I sold mine a few weeks back for 75k
You won't get a new one at this time for below 80 85
Np42
Cf98 is a few k less

I was suspecting the same. I showed him two demand notes, that is why he went through the pain of field stripping it, but he had gotten very annoyed after I started taking pictures of it. As you might be even more familiar with the attitude problems, which most dealers have. The problem is that none of the dealers in Rawalpindi had a CF-98/NP-42 in stock.
