Some guy has this for sale on E-Bay. Wish I could have it.

You CAN have it. Just move to Italy. For the same $1,500 bucks though, you can have a dummy gun here, with some assembly required. :D

Looks like its a Yugo M53 judging by the receiver markings so the price is a bit steep. The date 1943 might be refering to the date contained within the Yugo crest stamp on the top cover.
I paid £300 for a deactivated (sorry but its the only way we can own them) M53 and post war AA tripod.
