A guy on another board found this one at a KC gunshow. Some pawn shop had it for sale cheap.
Is a refurb as all 49 seem to be. But, 100% original configuration. Stock is a replacement.
But that seems to be it. It appears this is only the second or possibly third known in this country.
Heaven only knows what the collector value is on this. Absolutely astonishing find!
It even retains the early thin stock!
You can go here for more pics.

Interesting, I sold a '49 Tula on GB for my co-worker at the gun shop about 6 months ago.

Holy Cow !! I've really gotta try to get by there and see you guys more often. Did it have a blued spike bayo ? There are some other features and I can't recall what they all are. I think a hole in the top cover latch might be one, and maybe the shape of the gas block. I hope it did well at auction,
a '49 spiker is both rare and valuable. Some that were previously unknown have been surfacing lately it seems.

It was in a laminate stock and had a regular blade bayonet.
