$300? :shock: They are worth the $90 I paid for mine, or at least that is what I would pay for another :lol: I don't like paying big money for things, then it becomes about the money, not the joy of owning a piece of history.[/quote]

Make it hurt, Junk Yard Dog... $90.00 :pointleft: ....sheesh . I thought I did good when they were around $200.00. Anyway, definitive proof that collectables are a "well known secret" investment... and, the weird part is, unintentionally so at least until the last 25 years give or take.....I picked up a Polish M44 to expand my brief MN collection, and look how they've taken off.

Trust me, I would gladly pay a full grand for one, even two, if it meant I could be 20 years younger :lol: Friend owned a shop back then, he gave me good deals, but at the time there was not a big demand for commie weapons yet.
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.

These guys that say you should not pay more than $300.00 are living in La La Land... Try to get it for less, however if you have the money and you really - really - really want it buy it!!!... Five years from know it will be worth much more... ALWAYS BE GOOD TO YOURSELF :pointleft: :pointleft: :pointleft:
