Reising Models 50 and 55 value?

wakal · January 8, 2001, 09:05 PM

My local PD is selling off a couple of Reisings (a model 50 and a model 55), and I was asked how much these beasts were worth.

Frankly, I have no clue, beyond a vague recollection of how much the WWII Marines hated them.

Can anyone throw me a WAG on how much these typical PD weapons (about 90%, racked a lot and fired very little) are worth? They want to make sure they don't get lowballed on these.

Thanks,
Alex

Your best bet would be to peruse some of the full auto ad boards for some current pricing. Big Jim's Machinegun Sanctuary http://www.bjmgs.com and Tom Bowers board http://www.subguns.com are both good places to look.
