    One additional comment. I think these new/mint rifles came out of Spain in the mid-1963/4 timeframe. Germanicon supplied during the Spanish Civil War. Most likely arrived too late for combat. I saw many mint 71/84 rifles that were in the same shipment. All were new and nice.

    You're probably correct. From what I've read elsewhere the timing was right for when I bought mine.
