The RPG? (Or Chinese Type 56) Expensive - yes. Sought after - maybe not...
I believe the 1917 S&W is the most sought after handgun... if you want it "Indy customised", the total price incl. initial purchase and gunsmith work might be kinda high...
What else... a functional Webley Mk VI ain't cheap either, not to mention a Mauser pistol (Raven Bar goon) or WWII MP-40(various nazis) submachinegun...
the S&W would probably be the most sought for firearm, anyway.

You'll find a few deactivated Webleys on this site, just to give you an idea:

You are probably most right. And then you would think it would be totally easy to get hold of a nice Colt NS replica instead, but that doesn't happen it seems. I'd be more than happy with one though...

Your lucky to find a mk6 for under 400quid these days, a couple of years ago you could get them for 300 maybe less, but they always go up in price a lot each year, probably more than other sidearms.

And that's if you want a Browning Hi-Power made in the 60's or 70's. Finding one from the 1930's with an internal extractor you are looking at $900 and higher.Michaelson wrote:In the U.S., it's a toss up between the Browning and the Smith. They tend to float up in the 6 to 7 hundred dollar range in gun shops and shows. Regards! Michaelson
I am suprised, however, the number of 1917s and 1937s available. You see them quite frequently at gunshows. However, most collectors will gasp in horror when you tell them you want to cut the barrel down to 4 inches.
