    Nambu Pistol

    I have found a nambu pistol with what appear to be british proof marks on it. Would this increase the value,decrease the value or would it remain the same.

    Hi Odell,

    With rare exception, any alteration to a gun after it leaves the factory is a negative. Originality is important to collectors.

    Regards, Leon

      If you can post pics of it, this pistol could be interesting one.

        Imported firearms were required to have British proof house markings. To my mind, this doesn't detract from the value of the piece at all. It is only another chapter in the history of the item.

          I'm with Leon! Any import or added post war markings hurts the value for most collectors. For me It's a deal killer.

            Any foreign firearm, whether military or commercial, brought into England had to go through a British proof house before it could be sold commercially. Even British military small arms released for commercial sale had to have the same proofs.

              How did it work for British Veteran bring backs not for commercial sales? Just curious.

                If the veteran kept it for himself it did not have to be proofed. Only if he sold it would it have to be proofed.

                'Proof is the compulsory and statutory testing of every new shotgun or other small arm before sale to ensure, so far as is practicable, its safety in the hands of the user.'
