Found some Nambu Pistols for sale...

John Sabato · 10-16-2018, 12:02 PM

I know there are those that find them interesting, but I am not one of them I pass on this info for those with an interest.

I was in a sporting goods store over the weekend that had one of the largest selections of used pistols I have seen in a while. They had evidently purchased an entire Nambu collection from an estate. The gentleman behind the counter told me they had already sold 40 of them.

Here are a few photos to either whet or dispel your appetites. Sorry about the phone quality photos, but picture taking conditions were anything but ideal.

I also included the business card for the location that has them. I was told all of them are available for viewing online but have not checked to make sure. Enjoy? Just because I don't like them doesn't mean you won't. BTW not a single Luger in the house!:

Prices are high and just a bit high - everything depends on if matching and year and month

although the papa nambu is a good price - likely import marked

Thanks for the link. Website has listings but no pics... Hard to sell without them.

There are thirty Nambus listed on Proxibid, all variations, at different auctions.

No I told him that the photos were for you folks that don't know good pistols from bad!

The salesman agreed with me about my "look like they were made by convicts with files" description...

Note: There were no LUGERS available... but plenty of these in the used gun case... There are some really discriminating gun buyers in Eastern Virginia!

Ah, but John, wait until you actually SHOOT a Nambu. Its a sublime experience!

More seriously, they do shoot rather nicely.
