the break apart two piece paratroopers bring a premium price even in bad shape at any gun show or auction i have ever seen 1 at, i would hold onto it for a while longer, the bolt action rifle market is going through the roof right now with the semi auto bans in some states coming and all the talk of them being passed in other states, paratrooper 99s are hard to find that are actually still are operational. I was you keep it.
