Then, long story, but I was talking to a Gun Store near Nashville. Asked him about Bulgarians. Had several in stock from last CAI import. Told me he was pretty positive it is an unissued one that sat in Reserve for years some where. Well, didn't figure that could happen, but I bit and bought it. Here she is. This was only $299 plus Priority Mail. Needs a bit more of that preservative stuff removed yet. When wiped, the stuff is a reddish color. Where thicker in side, it almost looked like rust. But, not. I have seen this stuff before some where. I think on a Romanian TOK.
My dealer, who is a gunsmith and a very well known pistol shooter at Camp Perry, checked it over close for me. It certainly is a new unissued one. Not one scratch inside or out. Feed ramp is still blued. Slide rails on frame and Slide are 100% still blue. A perfect 100% pistol. It is so tight it is unreal.
So, now I have three collector grade and only one Shooter. In the last few weeks even shooters have soared in prices most places. Fastest money I could ever make.
