Re: And then there was 2
Found it on Gunbroker, had to wait a week for it to run its course. Only one other late bidder who might have been thinking it was a "Nam bring back" which the seller eluded to. (No I dont think it is) Bad pics probably cost the seller as the Kossuth Crest was not very visible at a glance unless you knew what and where to look.
The rifle itself is a beautiful mixmaster of Russian and Hungarian parts, like my 1945 M44 stamped rifle
Anyway here are a few of the auction pics that I cleaned up.

Re: And then there was 2
Some did Darryl, some didn't. There are now 4 of these PU's in the US that we know of, PGA has one, and DaSwede (gboards)has the other. The other 3 are all Russian matching except the scopes, which are also Russian. This one is like my M44 though that it is a mixture of Russian action and some small parts with a Hungarian stock and other small parts.
The one thing that is identical, at least for the PU's, is the are all 43 Izhevsk's from the same serial number block.
There is also a gboards member, DaveFromScheffield, over in Great Britian, that has a 91/30 so marked that is a Russian/Hungarian mixmaster.
