I went home and checked the reference books. Six known examples. Hope she did not have the entire gun and has been parting it out! I emailed her and let her know what it is, so if there is any chance the rest of the gun is retrievable she at least knows it would be worth the effort. Restored, I am guess it is worth $15,000, but admittedly that may be wildly optimistic.
As for a possible mismatch barrel, I understand that DWM used left over parts from the Bulgarian contract to fill the small Russian contract. Is it certain that all the parts would have matched?
