I'm sure it's not a "deal" but if you wanted one for your collection bad enough then this is what you might expect to pay.

I believe this seller is Martin08 from survivors sks forum.  Dude probably has over 100 sks rifles. Last i read he was into mosins now. I think this NK rifle has been around the sks community.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I have an 1845 French Military Sword for sale for $175. PM me for details. I'll even throw in a white flag. :) Serious on the sword, not on the white flag.

It is a "Manuf re Klingenthal Coulaux & Cie"
No scabbard.

Manufre de Klingenthal Coulaux & Cie markings indicated the disastrous Franco-Prussian war of 1870. The French moved the government manufacturing of swords to Châtellerault.
On September 1870, Klingenthal was captured by the Germans. Alsace remained a German territory until 1918. The company produced some bayonets for the German Empire (bearing the mark C ) but was never able to challenge the manufacturers of Solingen (Germany). The making of tools and the few orders for blades for private swordmakers were not sufficient to stop the decline of the Manufacture de Klingenthal.

In 1815, six hundred workers were making swords in Klingenthal, in 1910 they were one hundred. In 1955 only fifteen men were employed in the tool manufacturing company of Klingenthal, which closed its doors permanently in 1962.

You'd be right, and the PTRD-1 Anti-tank rifle.

They PTRD and the SVT and the SKS all use the tilting bolt system. Simonov designed the SKS to be an smaller SVT after the Soviets and most other countries realized that most fighting in the second world war was done under a range of 300 meters, and house to house, hand to hand.

Kalashnikov took the system a step further with the rotating bolt design and the AK47 won the day over the SKS.

It's not mine. I'm commissioned by a US lifelong friend that moved to Oz and couldn't take his firearms and sword collection with him.

Recently sold one of his Civil War Shannon, Miller and Crane swords.

This is the last one left.
