I invested in M44's when they were still well under a hundred bucks
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

The Molots I have seen are 2 in a box but heaven knows how they could come. The dealer in question has shown he is making money a $200 a pop with zero worth on the case. From that picture I can not tell anything about whether they are Molots or not or for that matter whether they are laminated stocks or not. I am not tieing that much money in refurbed M44's and then not knowing if they are Molots or not puts a complete Kabosh on it. To each his own I guess? Bill
