    Morini pistol

    I may have the job of disposing of this pistol but, I have no knowledge of these nasty modern things, so any help you can give me will be gratefully received.

    A friend of mine was disposing of one of these for a deceased club member's widow. Highly expensive new & you will see high prices asked.
    However they have complex electronic triggers & the the level of precision in the things is high. This means there arent many people capable of servicing them.
    If anything is broken or doesnt work then its a fortune to fix.
    My mate thought it was worth nigh on a grand, but the pistol had issues, we dropped the price to around £400 then found a buyer a long way away.
    He wasnt willing to take a chance on a potentialy faulty gun & i cant say i blame him.
    It was suggested that the current value in that condition was a few hundred quid.
    Pretty sure my mate still has it sitting there gathering dust.
    Good luck!

    Thank you
    Sorry your friends widow lost out on such an expensive thing. I am not a fan of modern guns. Give me an old BSA underlever any day.

    In very good condition, the later models that take 2 x AAA batteries should realise around £750 if complete in the case with two cylinders, fill adaptor, de-gas tool, toolkit and instruction book.
    Problems are rare although the earlier cylinders with the yellow faced manometers can be more leak prone than the latter white faced ones with a 3 colour scale.
    There are more than a few specialists well-versed in these models.
    Things like grips all full of filler will reduce the price, so worth removing and cleaning up before sale.
    The grip size should be stamped in the base of the grip.
    Also worth checking the battery compartment for leakage and fitting new batteries if of unknown age as these can last for ages.
