FOR SALE Afghan bring back Enfield pistol

[CurleyGrimes]

Up for sale is an Enfield cavalry pistol that I bought from the bazaar at Bagram AFB in 2016. The lock functions, although I have never shot it. I would have a gunsmith look it over if you plan on firing it. Also included are copies of the original customs paperwork with my address and SSN redacted out. Asking $350 plus shipping. USPS money order preferred.

Update: I've had a few questions so I'll add some more info here. I would rate the bore condition as very good. It has some slight surface corrosion, but nothing major. Hammer holds at half cock and the bore mics out at .639. I can't say for sure that it is an original vs a locally made copy, but I would err on the side of caution and assume it is a copy.

How’ the bore on that pistol?

Neato. Wish I would’ve picked up a war rug when I was there. A few guys picked up some Enfields but I knowing better decided against it. Those are nearly all cobbled together and repro (fake) parts guns built exclusively for the tourist trade. Still very cool piece of Afghanicana well worth the asking price. Still have the M9 holster I bought from there. God bless, aim high.

Those high-quality markings look "good"! Many of the native workship guns are crudely marked.
