I appreciate the advice you all have given me.

I am now looking at a used Grulla 209. The price seems too good to be true, so I am a little hesitant. I have not determined when it was made, but it does not look like current 209's - much less engraving.

Any opinions on these? What should I expect to pay for one in good condition?

How can I tell when it was manufactured? Any manufacturing time frames I should be cautious of?

Finally, any problems/issues I should look for?

Thanks again.
