A little bird told me... Weimajack "might" have a few non-refurbished '53 Izzy's !!

But, I just can't confirm the validity of the source.

If you're smart, you might want to send him a POLITE PM and inquire, because "if" it's true, once he posts them on EE, they will be gone in minutes.

If the little bird is right...does he also know for how much?

 

[guess_kto]

There are 2 on EE for $200 shipping in. What's the fuzz?

dunno... but if he sells for under $400, it's a deal.

If they're non-refurbished, unfired, then I'll buy both of them! For $200, they're refurbs. And, there's nothing wrong with refurbs.

 

[mkrnel]

Yes, he has two, both 3 digit serial numbered.

 

[mkrnel]

Both are not re-furbish marked.

 

[weimajack]

Both are gone, but, I still have one superb refurb one (IZZY 1953)

 

[The Kurgan]

weimajack... that didn't take long...

I don't know why!!!

 

[weimajack]

YES, these little birds fly very fast.

I don't understand, I still have some SVT's dated 1940 with mint bores, and, they stuck on the branch.

The other SKS variant that seems harder to find, next to 1949's and non-refurbished 1953 Izhevsk's are non-refurbished 1952 Tulas. Very excited to have finally found one in mint condition!

I was looking, but the wife/boss said no..... dang they are just in reach.....

I think that a letter series " K " in hardwood stock non-refurb is more rare than a Tula 1952
It' the only one that I don't have in non-refurb condition

 

[The Kurgan]

Yeah, you might be right... though I have seen at least two for sale this year alone. I only collect early dated Russians, so I wasn't thinking about 'no date' Tulas.

 

[jpboivin]

I've got mine last Saturday, Thank you Weimajack she's absolutely mint!!
Here some pics:

Nice catch. My '53 is my crown jewel.

 

[Kevt28]

Very nice JP.

 

[jpboivin]

Very nice JP.

Thank you

 

[weimajack]

Just to let you know, I still have on hand one IZZY 1954 (unref. - unissued - unfired).
