Ordered one and looks new to me. There is white paint on the metal hardware, possibly for protection from corrosion. The paint can be easily removed with paint thinner. Only 2 left at the time of this review. Grab 'em while you can, the supply of surplus is getting low!
a must have for the collection
Like brand new perfect to complete a system
Surplus items prices seem to steadily be rising and Russian stuff is harder and harder to find. These are in very good condition
