    There is a thread about this one, somewhere on the BBS. I think they are worth quite alot because there are not many about, possibly because they are bare-bollock ugly.

    It looks like the unhappy lovechild from the union of a staple-gun and a Volkspistol from the closing stages of WW2.

    Hi Eric,

    I know notting about the pistol and in al years that i collect i have never buy a Blue Book.
    The only reference book that i have is the Flayderman Guide for my antique firearms.
    Thanks for the info, the price that the guy ask is a litlle bit to high

    If you get another, are you prepared to send it to the UK?

    I found one in Bulgaria or some other central european state - they recon they can't send to the UK. I have been after one for years, been in touch with the maker the lot.

    Oh and I think $125 is very cheap, dunno what NZ$150 is worth but it sounds OK to me.

    If anyone out there can find a few it seems that there is a ready made market here!
