It pays to scan the auctions, you never know when a seller has no idea what he has. Listed as a 1953 Russian M44, opening bid $150.00, even with the 2 bad pics he posted you could tell it was an 02, and he said it was number matching, so for a buck and a half there wasn't much risk in throwing out the opening bid. Well the bid held up and the seller was right, all matching and all 02 marked, with a mint bore.
