One of the harder to find carbines in this condition.  I had this one in my files from back in 2016.  Looks like the seller almost tripled his money in 9 years.  I'm glad to see it hasn't been humped since then.  thumb1

Wow that seems pricey. I’m guessing the US market? I have 54 Izzy in as issued. I posted a picture of it a while ago, but it doesn’t look like it’s been fired.

Any value in my uploading detailed photos?

For show and tell, I have a '54 light refurb. Matching, same wood. PAX

And it’s back on GB. Probably because from GB pictutes it looks better than in reality

Sorry DC, I missed this post somehow. No, I don't have it in the database yet. It may be in my 'yet to be entered' folder, but I haven't gotten to it quite yet.
