From what I've read, they were imported in the 70's/80's. This one has aged well; it functions properly and has held its blue quite well. The rear sight adjustments even click back and forth like the first day I shot it. I haven't found one for sale recently online, but older classifieds have it priced at $400. Assuming it has -at least- held its value, I think $300 is a reasonable asking price. If you have history on this piece, or are interested in it, let me know. Thanks. **Located in Pace near E Spencer Field Rd.**
