1969 Albanian

Post by Cj556 »

Picked this one up a couple weeks back at a local country auction. It is still covered in cosmoline with the importers tag. All visible parts are matching with the rear sight being electropenciled matching. Been hunting for one of these for a while and it goes well with my three Ruskies and Yugo M59. Perhaps a Romanian is in my future.

Very nice find! The Romanian's are much more common, so the hard part is done. [emoji106]

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.

I wouldn't say more common.. maybe slightly more common. :thumbsup:

The Romanians have also gotten very scarce... only 3 sold in April GreedBroker, which has been the average per month for about the last 9 months.
