They have really taken a jump in price within the last 5 or so years. All original ones are becoming harder and harder to find, hell even the original rear flip sight (not the reproductions) are selling for over $100.00....for the sight only!That's more than what I paid for this rifle!

I have an original USGI canvas case for it as well dated 1944, I've seen them sell for as much as $200.00. Anything USGI will bring more money down the road.
