Cuba crested on Gunbroker

4 posts in this topic

I have seen "W" crested and Mexican crested and heard of French crested but this is the 1st Cuban crested I have seen.  The crests are all post manufacture and done with a pantograph and are generally credited to Old Benicia Armory.

Cuban use of JSARs date to Castro's revolution which overthrew Battista in 1956 and later the CIA sponsored Insurrectos were armed with scoped JSARs at the Bay of Pigs.

I concur with both Brian and Bruce above on this one. I've sent a note of caution to Gun-Broker on this item, to which they might reply. Anyway,
Buyer Beware.....
