Cecil - one more point I think you should consider besides the sellers rather dubious reputation at this point is that it doesn't really look like it sat in a swamp for 70 years. It's really bright and near mint. I have difficulty believing this saw action and death in Karelia. Things that come out of the ground there are really affected by that terrain (it's pretty rough on metal things).... just my thoughts.... I could be wrong but I dunno....
