U stole that rifle. Quick giess, about $850 ish worth of stuff, before cash. I would have done that trade any time. What country is the drum? Looks to be a backloading drum? Chinese, Romanian or Korean then.
Public toilets?

Lol, damn near close on that one. I couldn't believe it, told him I was only asking $550 on mine. But, said he wasn't getting another. Said he only put 20 rounds through it and been in the safe since. He said the drum was bought recent from RWB, he gave thought into using it with the AK but just stored it in the safe as well. Still was in the original box and wrap.
Nice score! WASR will serve you well for a long long time
If bought recently it is Romanian made, Chinese designe. GTG. Bulkier than a toploader, but easier on the springs.
Gotcha. This is the box it came in.
Just looked them up and ordered a RWB 100 Round Drum to go with it.

Also, if i remember correctly he said he paid $300 for the WASR at a local gun show back in '09-'10.
Hey - that gun looks too familiar...Did I sell it to you at a gun show in Lawrenceville?
Well, that’s a West Berlin police gun with a CZ-52 pigskin holster. Looks like one of the first contract holsters from BRNO.
Also looks like one of the early Manhurin P1 pistols, which have a very interesting story...
Post WW2 the Germans were forbidden to produce weapons for domestic sale. But the West Berlin police were tired of the surplus Victory models and 1911s, they wanted their P38 back. So in 1955 Walther decided to make an end run around the rule. The Walther factory sits on the Rhine river, which is the French border at that area. Right across the river was their sister company, Manhurin, who made their frame and slide forgings. In order to circumvent the treaty and supply German designed weapons to German police, they finished and proofed approximately 2500 P1 pistols and 500 P4 pistols at the Manhurin plant in France. As a result, these guns were able to be issued to German police units.
AT, yours has the chrysanthemum on the front of the trigger guard web
which is the West Berlin issue mark.
Here’s mine, in a correct era holster, but not necessarily the actual one for this gun, since they weren’t serial numbered.
If you look it up on Wikipedia, you’ll see my exact gun again, but with the serial covered by a bit of black tape.
Almost forgot to mention: the Manhurin correct mags are same in every way except the ‘Walther’ banner is not present. They just say “P1 9mmx19”

My family history is...interesting, both in the old and new country
My boys got their mom and step-mom's families now too.
They are descendants of Benjamin Rush of Philadelphia and signer of Declaration of Independance.
Step mom is a direct cousin of Rebekah Boone, Daniel Boone's wife.
So they have an American pioneer and a Revolutionary on one side, and Soviet Enemy of the State on another.

RWB is a Korean brand. The Romanian drums come in a Red/orange box.
