Gun Prices in Germany and Septentrionalian America

It is always charming to compare gun prices.
*This* Margolin rapid fire pistol in .22 short, complete with wooden chest and everything, was just auctioned off in Germany for 14 (fourteen) Euros. (And the last Hämmerli International in .22 lr brought 78 Euros). Enjoy. :-)

I think this pistol can be sold in the US market for $600-750 with no problem.

Three hours later, a High Standard Mod. 102 Olympic Citation in .22 short (with aftermarket grips and two small barrel weights, but no case or chest) was auctioned for 22.50 Euros.

Nice toy and I'd love to have it, but price is in accordance with its usefulness.

True. After it is no longer national, only some of the (20) German state shooting associations still allow for .22 short rapidfire as a "boutique discipline" for a few veterans who don't want to throw their once expensive gun away.

Do you have a website url for these German auctions? Especially if I want to bid overseas. I am looking for antique free pistol, so I don't think it will be a problem for importing to the US.

Oh I know this site, I just did not know you can have an "English" version. I only plan to get pre-1898 antique and also regular pistol parts and accessories so it will be OK to import. Im sure there is a way to work things out financially.

I've said it before...there's probably a business opportunity for a shipper in Germany and an American importer to broker eGun purchases.

There's probably a business opportunity to de-sesquipedalianize Alexander.

Speaking as a resident of "Septentrionalian" America, "North" suits us just fine.

It's not that hard to do it yourself. I'm in the middle of doing my 7th or 8th import from Germany - all pistols I've bought on egun.

Note that, since Deutsche Post no longer accepts firearms or parts , these have to be sent by air-freight, so it's only worthwhile for unique items or 2 or 3 pistols in one shipment.
