Yugoslavian m59/66 sks's

Do you mean, Russian 49 and 50 might be even more accurate then Yugo ones? They have non chrome lined barrel as well.

Very possible, i dont have those years.

All of the "in the grease" Yugos I've seen are new rifles, and they're very well made rifles. I don't know if they surplussed any used SKS's, I've seen some used M48's of various types, but all of the heavily greased ones I've seen of those have been new too.

currently a dealer is selling mint in grease for $800 so yours should be $1500 for the pair, hope you have the accessories if not, then cut the price down further.

Leave them in cosmoline if you are acquiring the rifles as an investment.
Preserved until ready to be used.

This logic is a good way to end up with a 3rd Yugoslavian rifle to use as a shooter which may be less unique giving the paired serial #'s. I also think this current economy is about function over collector value at present so if you want to maximize your serial yugo profits you need to hold on to those rifles and wait.
