Price Advice on Guns

[Mike H]

Gentlemen,

Thanks for your past help on this forum. It's been great.

I have six guns I am taking to Nashville this weekend for the militaria show there in Franklin and have arranged to show them to a dealer.

I would really appreciate your advice on how I should price these. What I will do is if the guy buys all six, I will offer a discount. But I need to know what fair prices of these might be. I will give some brief descriptions below.

M-1 Carbine

First up is a re-manufactured, re-finished, rebuilt (whatever) M-1 Carbine.

This is from my father's collection. He bought this and a Garand, both re-done. He never was a collector -- he just wanted something like he was issued in WWII in the Marines.

Advice?

Dirty Harry

Next up is a Smith & Wesson 44 Magnum "Dirty Harry" M629 in stainless. Very nice condition -- Dad only fired it a few times. Would scare the poop out of the neighbors.

Walther PPK

Walter PPK, Crown N. Some wear to the bluing, as can be seen. A crack in the grip on the right side. All matching -- including the magazine.

45

Well, here is a 45. I know this one has been buffed and refinished. Also, the bore is not mint. My Dad bought it to shoot. I really need help on this one.

P-38 cyq

Here we have a CYQ. This is a Russian capture gun - as you can see from the re-finish. Nice condition, however. The bore is excellent. It does not have any "Made in Germany" stamps on it -- I understood that some did.
