RTI 1943 Springfield M1 Garand, was it worth it? 

For $1200 after all the fees, taxes, and shipping, was this Garand worth it?
I’d say probably not. It had some surface rust in the barrel, definitely used by Ethiopia. But how long has it been there? And how did it get to Ethiopia after the war? Did someone die while using it and it was captured, surrendered maybe?
