Trust me I felt the same when he brought me this thing and my mouth dropped to the floor but kept my kool..
I feel like this thing belongs in a glass case.. My friend told me he spent $300 in restoring this thing..
Nagant.. I feel the same.. I like vintage stuff as well, weather be furniture, cars, desk lamps, luggage or whatever the case may be but I will only use NOS or Awesome condition parts only for rarely use items.. Show and Tell so to say..
