Quoted:
Condition is that it functions 100% (surprisingly. Even with old German ammo from the 30s) but the finish is probably 50%. Nazi marks are clear. I think from 1942. I don’t remember off the top of my head. Just wondering what one would pay for something like that. I see guys asking between 1100 and 2000 on Gunbroker - but not being sold. I have three of them and only need one. That one was carried by a family friend in Vietnam, but the other two I have no allegiance to. Those have sequential serial numbers though so I’d hate to split them up but I know no one wants two. Just wondering what to do with them Wait......you have three Hi Powers ( one having "Nazi marks) or three Nazi era Hi Powers, two that are consecutive? While it may take longer to find a collector with the bankroll, you'll get far more $$$ by selling the consecutive pair. And you would be wholly and completely wrong to assume no one wants two. The odds of finding two consecutive numbered HP's from the Nazi occupation are astronomical. While condition affects value the most, having consecutive serial numbers on a collectible gun manufactured over seventy years ago would likely add $1000 or more to the pair. And post some pics dammit!

Sequential serial numbers in anything is damn hard to do. On WW2 era HPs that would be almost unheard of. You might want to contact the auction houses (Rock Island Auction comes to mind) and get some input from them.
The HP market is all over the place. Trying to find rhyme or reason in it is beyond me. I would be very curious how you ended up with sequential HPs. |

Are they truly sequential? Does the script letter before the numbers match? If not they are from different series.
The script letter is a legit part of the SN and very often left off paperwork in the states. Pretty cool even if they are from different sn runs. Auction them as a pair? Longish auction time. |

I will get pics up soon.
Like I said the condition is rough. But the Nazi markings are easily made out. Blueing is almost completely gone in some spots and it rattles. But I’m serious it shoots (I haven’t shot the sequential ones. I will look at the prefix) I don’t know if it’s the thin front sight or what but one time I was shooting the clips that held the target up at 7 yards with WWII era ammo.

I wouldn't worry too much about finish or rattling. Most serious collectors just want original finishes, just not redone. Yes, a pristine original would be worth more but.... you can't have it all. LOL.
Looking forward to pics. |

Calling someone you don’t know a liar is a shitty move @badgebunny
Go ahead and google image search these. You won’t find them. They’re from the last time I took them to the range. Future pics will be sure to have the guns next to a neat drawing of some sort. I’m already practicing how best to draw a bunny wearing a badge waving a pride flag For those of you who offered help. Thank you. Any input on the below would be appreciated. This is the one carried in Vietnam from the OP.

Cool, they didn’t use the typical German firearm manufacturing the the letter before the numbers.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Calling someone you don’t know a liar is a shitty move @badgebunny Go ahead and google image search these. You won’t find them.... I don't think he's questioning whether you have a Nazi marked HP, but that you have consecutive serial numbered Nazi marked Hi Powers.  And being that you never returned to the thread, its not a stretch for someone to doubt your claim below. Quoted: ....That one was carried by a family friend in Vietnam, but the other two I have no allegiance to. Those have sequential serial numbers though so I’d hate to split them up but I know no one wants two..... If you truly DO have consecutives, think of the odds.
