I added another Albanian to the collection. This was just to cheap to pass up.  Found it locally for $550. It's a little beat up but that's ok.

Yes indeed, fair enough looker, great price, Chinese money. I sold off a '68 & a 'dupe '70 over the last couple years. I have one left and it's been humped. Stock refinished, re-blue with some bits case hardened, but it looks very sharp. I didn't hesitate on which to hold on to, mainly because, in general they're so rare. If and when I ever decide to move it, I'm sure it'll fetch a premium with only around 4000 imported. The more modern collectors want nice as much as a war horse. PAX

Excellent score! That's around a 2015 price. I bought my first Albanian in similar condition in the Fall of 2015 for $430.
