Walther Model 55 (LG55)

[M.Meijer]

Classic rifle with a stunning level of quality, enhanced by the Tyrolean stock. As far as value, you talk market prices and hence, the economic climate.
The outer condition is the most important factor, with the wood of course being the dominant element here. Technically these rifles can brought back to specs, with plenty of spares available; even the blueing can be upgradet. But not the wood in the sense of colour and structure.

I fully agree with the prices indicated by Garvin; as this is not a freshly baked loaf of bread you will always be depending on the sometimes whimsical decision making by buyers.
To me you have a very special object that can be appreciated not only by shooters, and with perhaps a sentimental value that simply cannot be expressed in money.
If there is no need for the latter, a (family-) piece to hold on to and to be passed on to the next generation.

Regards, Mike

P.S. And great fun to shoot with it's mild mannered nature!
