Those Persian stuff are cool. Acquired a Persian C96 earlier in the year. Don't know who imported them into the U.S., no importer stamp. The seller had two for sale, another one was actually a few percent better in blue, but the muzzle was marred. Plus and minus, two were comparable. We did not learn how to share among us -- a few guys rushed to this, cost me "legs and arms" (just learned, like drawing a picture
). Nevertheless, Persia was an interesting country, and had some interesting guns.
