    1950 Long Branch "The Horror"

    Too bad they don't ship to CA. Looks like I will have to pass on this one. What a shame as it is a 1950. Starting price is only $375.

    It looks refinished, the couple 1950 LBs I have are a Parkerised Green colour.

    Don't think that it's worth any more in that 'sporterized' condition, even as a 1950 ! And, I agree that it has been refinished.

    The ugliest part may be what appears to be a rather nastily counterbored muzzle...

    There were quite a few 1950 LBs in the UKicon a couple of years back. I think they were the ones that originated from Greece.
