    Hello everyone, I want to buy this svea 123 but I'm worried about the bottom, are they sealed holes or was it from the factory?

    @Alexander1987ss I don’t see any sealed hole on that 123 and hardly the bottom plate of a 123 would be affected by pin holes.

    You can buy it without problems.

    Good luck! If you get outbid, another one will come along. They must have made a lot of them.

    They are extremely common, however, in places not in the Ukraine. See where I’m goin’ with that?

    yes, I bought it, $110 welcome to the svea community, it’s even good that it’s old, I love restoring old things to perfect condition
