    Wow,

    Either someone really wanted that can or it was not a genuine bid.

    Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

    I particularly like the reference in the description stating Circa 1920s. I too have seen these 60s cans change hands for around £200 over the years with pre-war examples fetching nearer £300, especially when sold at internet auction.

    Really? I'd have said nearer to the £150 mark for a post war reversible spout can.

    I agree, but there's no accounting for what some are willing to pay.

    Its an Auction
    So at least two people would be willing to pay that price.
