Shop1 AK from the late great Bill Martino.
Engraved with S.N (serial number?) 33 and was made by Kami with K.G.R initial, Shop 1.
Overall is 16" with 5" handle.
Belly width is 2" at maximum.
Spine thickness is 3/8".
Blade had scratch marks that looks like it was used for light brushing.
Weight is around 30Oz.
This model reminds me of a cross between British Gurkha issue and the HI Salyan.
















Scabbard is made with supple leather encased with a canvas sheath just like the Gurkha issue.

The retention on the sheath is amazing:

Letting it go for 250USD (price includes shipping and insurance....I will keep the book.
