Valuation: 1930s Hubertus large Frame

[Mobiasstrip]

I plan to sell this old chap.

Missing front sight, one small wood screw and every last bit of original bluing. Its clearly not always been treated with the respect it deserves, rather sad in fact.
Cocks and fires although v low power (pellet does not always clear barrel...).

Would benefit from some expert TLC.

Photos show condition well. What's the considered view on price I should pitch this at on the "For Sale" board.
Many thanks
Steve

Hard to say. £100 would seem too little and £200 too much. Maybe £150?

Hi in that condition l would say about £125+.

Very interesting, never seen one before. I would get that looking nice in a couple of hours. I wonder if it is the same Hubertus that make knives.

Hi Baz, l am surprized you have never seen one before, although they are on the rare side there are quite a few still about. l have had 4 over the years and still have 2. one being in the rare .22, but l have never had a short chamber one.

Due to the relatively poor condition, I would also estimate that somewhere near the £100 mark would be realistic for somebody who might just want an example of this quirky pre-war German pistol.

I recall paying around £300 a few years ago now for the near perfect 'Large Frame' model pictured above the 'Small Frame' pistol which is in slightly better condition than your pistol and for which I parted with £150 due entirely its relative rareness.




Good luck with the sale.

Regards
Brian

Not surprising as I have been out of the country for 22 years in a land where airguns don't feature much. You needed something more substantial to protect yourself, and I made sure I had plenty plus a huge stock of ammo to go with them.

Steve is that writing on the LHS of the cylinder, or pitting?

Neither. I thinks it's a number of small dents ...
