Collector's Armory brought in an additional 38 copies of the Shoei FG42 first model this year. They make excellent display weapons and really add to a late-war FJ impression. Here are a few shots of the FG42 that I just got in thanks to a fellow forum member.

A shot of the maker's mark on it. The gun takes down to about 90 parts. -

Fg-42
How much are they? I saw one last year at a gun show and it had a rather high price on it. I agree they would look great with a display. I once saw the original FG-42 George Petersen had with a serial number in three digits. I believe it was around 995.Comment

Robbie, retail on them is almost $1600. Through a member of the forum, I got it at dealer pricing which was less than four digits.Comment

Super looking guns! Somebody is a lucky man!
I am not sure of what dealer cost was on the first batch of these that came in. So, I really can't say how the prices compare to the first batch.
Paul C of FJ Stab Ko. told me you have a second model Shoei that was adapted to fire blanks with a pistol. Would you mind showing it?Comment
