A small original Vertigo map collection, available in normal and Souvenir form, topped by a Mil-Spec AK.
The Black Laminate applies a black finish to the AK's wooden furniture, an understated treatment whose value comes from scarcity rather than the design. It is Mil-Spec, but as a small-collection AK it trades high, with normal Factory New copies around €296 and Souvenir copies from single events like Berlin 2019 carrying provenance value.
