Saw this one on gunbroker.com back a few days ago. From the description, seller was obviously a collector. The asking price was not low, but around book value. No one wanted it. Considering I don't have one like this, so I picked it up. It arrived quickly, looks super nice with near perfect matching oak stock.

Most bolo had nothing to do with Russian Bolshevik, but the exotic nickname stayed in the community. In the same way, most "French Gendarme C96" had nothing to do with neither French nor any Gendarme (I believe some instances did serve French military police, nickname had a hint), but the nickname is now universally used to describe this variation of large grip short barrel early postwar C96. "Germany" export stamp on left side frame, it's probably sold to American in early 1920s.
