I would like to add to my collection and I've been looking online/gun shows.  So far no luck finding another nice early Paratrooper.  I see rebuilds/restores and outright misrepresentations.  Beginning to think I may never see another one equal to what I stumbled upon.  Are excellent condition originals extinct?

Pretty M1A1!

We would enjoy seeing more, close-up photos.

Here's another pic and a link to my original post (lots of pics) from last year when I had just bought it.  $800.  At the time I had no idea what I was being offered.  Since then I've just about given up on finding another one.
