Early CAI /26\

Post by lmc8541 »

picked this up at a flea market last year. thought it was a VN bringback but found the Century import stamp after getting home and cleaning the dust and grime off it. i believe it's a 59 date Arsenal 26.

That would be a complete matching early non-refurb from 1959. Not many of them retained all of their original parts. The early CAI imports certainly have a well used look to them.
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....
