That's a Belgian I'd like to have. Not sure I'd pay quite that much for it though. I don't think the fellow is correct on his card. This is not a newly manufactured variation, this is an actual 1889 that was upgraded in 1936 to a new standard. Not exactly rare either but this is the reason the 1889's are hard to get. In any case, as a Belgian, it's not a common rifle here in the states. This would be a rifle used in WWII and was probably the most common type in use then.
