The guy that's offering it to me is asking 1500. I guess I better negotiate. Just a little

I have seen them for $1200-$1500 but I only know of the one selling at $800 wasn't as nice as yours either. 800-1k and I think you have a solid price.

I sold mine over a year ago that was not as good of condition as yours ( minus the fabric) for $1200. If there is flexibility in price, that is great, but I don't think that $1500 is way-over-the-top crazy for a KM.

Very nice mortar.

That would look amazing with one of my displays.

I would gladly pay in the $1000-$1500 range. Importing this to Canada might be a problem though.

Boy, that's a tricky call. It needs to have a hole cut in the side the diameter of the muzzle as well as a steel bar welded inside so that a shell cannot be dropped in otherwise it's considered "active". It's hard to tell from pictures if the cloth is original or added sometime later and that all ties into the condition of the piece I suppose. $1500 for something you'll have to cut up or risk confiscation or prison time is a hard choice to make.

I have seen them sell from $800-1200......This is without the carrier and parts....This one is lacking the bubble sight, as is the case with many.....The dust cover looks okay to me......I'd say the price is dependent on how bad a person wants one.....Bodes

I'm a noobie when it comes to these thing but, could you REALLY get in trouble for having an active one? I mean the thing looks like a child's crutch and its an old tube from a dead military. I mean you could just say it was one of many things a vetern brought home. I doubt you would go to jail for having a thing brought back from WWII that most commoners don't even know what it is.

Yes you can
