nambu pistol prices?

Jim Mac · 02-10-2020, 09:20 PM

I've always thought a nambu pistol is needed for the collection. I think the type 14 is the classic look I've been wanting. I looked on gun broker and it seems these things in the 400 to 500 dollar range have actual bids, anything unless rare or really.nice a over $700 isnt getting any bids. maybe I'm just not looking at the auctions right.
So what's the realistic price for a nambu pistol in a shoota le condition sell for? I was thinking throwing a old revolver out there for a trade (1877 lightning). jim

400 to 500 hundred seems cheap for a collector piece

A mismatch - perhaps that

But matching - matching mag or holster and expect to pay $800-$1000

I *think* I paid $650-ish for mine several years ago - FWIW.

I'm not looking for a matching collectors piece, just something to fill the japanese pistol to go with the arisaka rifle. jim

I would go for a matching example perhaps of lessor condition. You will always be able to sell it for more that one not matching.

FROM THE NAMBUS THAT I HAVE SEEN - which certainly isn't a ton of them: They seem to be more matching than not - magazines aside. They appear to have not been "scattered about", unlike German and American weapons. Then again, they didn't mark every little part either.
I was actually able to find a matching magazine for mine.
