It is dated mid 1948 (4XXX). The seller told me that is is in a good working condition... but he was lying! Once I got it, I found out that the curta is stuck and doesn't work. What shall I do??? The seller told me that if I send it back to him, he will refund me the money (but only after he will get it back)... But I afraid that he will not fully refund me for and still I need to pay the shiping and the import costs (~200 usd )... I'm realy depressed  I can also try to send it to Italy for inspection ... but I don't know wheter it can repaired and what will be the costs...and if it will be economic wise... I don't know what to do! I highly appriciate your advise | ||
