Erma .22LR Conversion kit

[Vlim]

This is the early post war set, produced by Erma for Interarms. It would be followed up by the slightly improved SE-08/2 in the 1970s and 1980s.

Mauser tried to purchase Erma in the 1970s, as it would have allowed them easy access to a working .22lr system for their own Parabellum pistols. Erma has been hovering on the edge of bankruptcy for many years, so Mauser was speculating on that.

Ironically, Erma survived longer than Mauser's pistol branch, so the scheme was never carried out

It would be a great set to team up with a post war Interarms Parabellum. I'd buy it for $500 without blinking.

Reading that, I would think that refusing any offer under that amount on GB and re-listing it here on the For Sale forum for the amount Vlim has stated would be your best chance for a productive sale, and a boon to a serious collector...

Simpson's is generally thought to charge 20% above fair market value, so Vlim's estimate is pretty close. Some bottom feeding scumbag offering you $150 is absurd...

On GB...It might be a good place to start, maybe with a reserve as high as Vlim suggested...

- what and why are you suggesting anything???????

I suppose that is your way of insulting me, but ignoring that and taking Vlim's suggestion again, I would list it at $500 because I value Vlim's opinions...
