    HW 55T.177 Valuation

    Hello all,

    Had this for a while.Thinking of parting with it.
    Apparently it was ex sporting shop stock from early 70s. Condition wise, its like it left the factory. I have not used it.
    You can see it has many extras like main springs and barrel sleeves/weights,wallet foresight's, etc and etc.
    Even has a card of HW matches??
    Brady cased.

    Would appreciate your thoughts on valuation.

    Thank you

    Paul.

    Hw55t

    A really nice example. You don't see many with the barrel weight. The weights came in 400 grams and 900 grams, which was a little too heavy for this rifle in my opinion. Value I would say £600-£700 I had a nice one for sale about 2 years ago for £375. And couldn't sell it!!! They dont fetch the high prices some folks think they are worth. I dare say i'll be but right in a few minutes by more wise bbs members. Mach 1.5

    Agree with Mach 1.5, value £600 to £700. I couldn't see the HW diopter these usually have. Does it have one?

    I would have thought £500-£700 is about right. That's a once-in-a-lifetime timewarp kit.

    If nobody came forward at the higher end, somewhere around £500-£550 should guarantee a sale.

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    A true collectors piece and as it has my name upon it

    Is the 55T marked with a F pentagram on the breech block, as I'm wondering which country of origin it was first for sale in ?

    Very rare complete set with a Weihrauch hang tag "75 years" so maybe a aniversary set?
    With the Tyro stock, barrel weight and boxed diopter complete with all the manuals etc, when do you think you will find another set like this one?
    And all is "mint"!!
    When sold on that German auction site it might go REAL high.
    Have seen crazy prices lately for good and rare German collectables.

    That's the nicest one I've ever seen, really extraordinary.

    I don't know if it's the pandemic, or some sort of behind-the-scenes hanky-panky, or what...but HW 55's have recently gone for very high auction prices here in the US. I've seen a 55 M in good but not perfect condition sell for over $700, and a 55 T with nice figured wood, in excellent condition, but no accessories beyond the diopter sight, go for over $1200.

    Crazy to my mind, but maybe I'm just behind the times...!
