L39A1 at auction recently

[PrinzEugen]

Ok then, Prinz...where do you see a "792" on the butt?

Mate I wasn't saying you were wrong - I was saying that it seemed a bit over the top to stamp the calibre on the butt...
Anyway Thunderbox has come up with the answer by reading the original description properly, which I didn't.

In the Uk the prices are lower than the $2k quoted, although there must be a few more L39s around - they're some currently advertised online for between £800 - £1000 - but I reckon you could have a decent one for around £600 probably.

Sorry, Prinz, for the mis-understanding.

The L39's are a rare bird around here. I was hoping that it would go for quite a bit less than it ultimately did.
