Really love this one:
http://www.collectorsfirearms.com/to...a-8mm-pr24035/ Saw this type of Nambu in a museum when I was a kid. Dreamed to play one in hands one day. Finally, it's possible, but I am hesitating on .... on what? I don't know. I don't know this type. Is the asking price too high? what's the prevailing market price for Papa Nambu in this condition nowadays? Thanks. |

Not sure what the value of these "Papa Nambus" are.The ones I have seen in auctions go for many thousands,but they usually have the holster stock. I have bought from these gents in TX and they did work me a deal. I would imagine the demand for one these guns is limited,at best. Remember, its just money. Bob

I gave $1800 for a all matching TGE Papa Naval issue in similar condition last year. I value it at about $2200+? Link to the pictures of it below:

CJS57 -- Thanks! Your Navy Nambu looks great!
I was also thinking about around $2000. If it were a consignment item, the owner probably only gets $2000 based on the listing price. Papa Nambu is a scarce pistol. Not sure why Baby Nambu is pricey. I have met more Babies than Papas. Probably due to condition. Fewer Babies were made, but Baby's survival rate is supposed to be higher. I like the bigger variation. Bob -- I just looked up the book. Grandpa Nambu has stock. Very few Papa Nambu has stock, no slot on the back of the grip. |

This Nambu is torturing me. Read "Shanghai 1937" the whole night yesterday, it's an excellent book on the subject. The more I read, the more I feel I need a Nambu in hand.... a Papa Nambu.
