Yeah, and I just found another one in pristine conditions.
It seems to me that here they are mostly with crest intact and also in very good conditions.
If the export weren't that expensive, I'd think about getting one from here.
I'd even be more that happy to go see it for you if not too far.
I have one, a rifle all matching except the bolt. Though the bolt and receiver are both in the K serial block and only about 20 #'s apart. Mine has also been plated to make it a parade rifle. It may not retain much collectors value but it looks good and shoots good. I know of two local shops with all matching '91 Argentines with scrubbed crest though for some reason both rifles have un-numbered bent bolts. On mine the barrel bands, cleaning rod, bolt, magazine, trigger guard, butt plate, and bolt stop have been plated.
