If you look closely at the back of the frame, you can see where the holes for the lanyard loop have been filled... Regardless of it's origin, the extreme buffing on this one clearly make this just a shooter...
I stand corrected on this by Ron Rood... thanks Ron! ... I can still see a ghost of a circle on the rear frame shot where a lanyard loop might be attached, but that is probably just the photograph, but the absence of the lanyard recess bears out your thesis that this IS an original Bulgarian commercial... <img border="0" alt="[icon107]" title="" src="graemlins/icon107.gif" /> fortunately, the second half of my statement is accurate... otherwise I would have to record making a mistake today in my archive  <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />
