In the book Stalin's Keys To Victory, the author (Walter Dunn Jr) mentioned a phrase "planned obsolescence", by this phrase, Soviet could make 109,815 tanks and SUs during the Great Patriotic War. So, it's a philosophy and stratege when number matters. For gun collecting, maybe "planned obsolescence" could apply under certain consideration.

Regarding the gun, I would say the description being OK except "but nicely done". I would believe that's subjective and very elastic.

Don't know the market. Is the starting price for this condition OK?

Interesting enough, the author claims "planned obsolescence" was learned from Ford Motors. No wonder ....
