Dang, that sucker looks pretty nice to me! Does your bayonet have a rough texture to it (my M59 from way back when most certainly does, almost gravelly feeling with that grey coating) or is it more of a smooth finish?
Does the serial # start with a C-xxxx?
The latest date of preservation I remember seeing on a crate tag from classic was 2007. I think maybe one of the crates SKhiSm got might have had a 2008 on it (but I don't have acces to those pics at the moment). I honestly think these are fresh off the boat with dates like that. It could easily be this was only small shipment of Yugos in general and only these three retailers were willing to pony up the $350 or so per gun to buy them from PW for resale with Dan's getting the inside track on the M59's only. Stranger things have happened. It'll be interesting to see:1) how long the M59's truly last (the 'sold out' on the website turned out to not be quite accurate)2) whether Dan's gets any of the new m59/66A1s3) how long the M59/66A1s last at both classic and SOGAnd 4) whether they have to cut into their profits a bit to move all these guns if they don't sell in a timely manner.
