I was kinda happy about the final price I can tell ya. :)
I really am starting to like these early (thin) bars. The later style, be they cloth mounted or metal-backed, are so common, and so often made up that they don't command any respect (in my eyes) or much of a price.
The thin ones, and the plastic and painted bars from the 50s, are still fairly cheap, often authentic, and an undervalued part of Soviet collecting.
Having said that I just blew my last chance of ever seeing another 95 cent bar on the e-channel. :chuckle
