Title: GB listings for April, 2015 - Special
Post by: running-man on May 08, 2015, 04:46:01 PM
I've changed things up a bit to clean things up this month.  Hopefully the fancy links will work.  I'm not going to release the PDF or images, but I will make the entire spreadsheet available in the Members Only area for those who want to download and putz around with it.

Please let me know any feedback (good or bad) to these.

Item Link   Description   # Bids   Final Price   Model   Arsenal Condition   Current Condition   RM's Notes


477370058 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=477370058)   Rare Vietnam NVA SKS North Vietnamese Capture Capture papers 100% Bring back not Russian   1   $3,750.00    North Vietnamese   As-Issued   Fair   Nice NVA with capture papers.  With every new NVA I see, that '62 to '65 year prefix theory looks more and more implausible…


480529902 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=480529902)   Vietnam Bring Back Type 56 SKS   1   $1,250.00    Chinese w/Papers   As-Issued   Fair   I'm surprised this went as high as it did with only 4 photos of the actual gun itself.  Has the look, but that's a lot of Benjamins to throw at a /26\, even w/the paperwork.

Hey they are 'special' guns now. fart1

We could stick them in the "General SKS Discussion" board. Of course that means that this Trinity board will likely go months if not years in between posts.  OK1

Paperwork looks good on the NVA. Too bad about the stock being scrubbed over.

Just for posterity-
The serial on the papered NVA is 641436. The stock is mightily sanded.

Nah. That buyer has been known to drop princely sums on some SKS.

I'm always reminded when I see the name of a soldier/marine/sailor/airman on bring-back papers that there's a guy who made it back.
