Posts: 498 Jul 27 09 5:00 PM MODERATOR Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None From this past weekend SCACA show acquired this Nagant revolver. There are 1895's and there are 1895's....but this one is among the most difficult of all to acquire. They are as scarce as feathers on a frog. In 1928 Charles and Maurice Nagant, sons of Leon, sold rights, machinery and remaining parts for the Model 1895 to Poland. Quantities of the M1895 were produced in Poland under the name Radom Ng30 (Ng meaning Nagant) (30 the year of adoption as the service sidearm). Production continued until adoption of the Radom VIS-35, 9mm semi-auto pistol in 1935. I have read that the number produced was something like 30,000. I believe production ended 1936. I have collected the VIS-35 and P.35(p.) "Radom" semiautomatic pistol for over 40 years and this is only the second Ng30 that I have ever actually held in my hands.....they are scarce.....and the condition of this one is outstanding. The one presented here is dated 1932 and bears serial number 5499. Francis VIS aka Blind Hog "Even a Blind Hog sometimes finds an acorn" Last Edited By: VIS35 Jul 27 09 10:16 PM. Edited 1 time.

You posted elsewhere that they are going for around $600, perhaps that is what they are worth.

The price I posted was what the shop wanted for it, but that very well may not be what they go for. That same shop sold me a Radom Vis for $1500 that later sold for $3200 So could someone give me an idea what these are worth? Did I maybee offend someone by asking the price?

No one was offended, perhaps a good way to see what prices are realizing in the market place is to follow the internet auctions, live auctions and sites of firearms dealers around the country. And no, I will not post what I paid for the pistol presented in this thread. "The price I posted was what the shop wanted for it, but that very well may not be what they go for." By that do you mean it would realize more or less? I recently sold a G33/40 Mauser to a friend at a show $1000, later in the day he sold it for $1900. So what was it worth? To me, based on what I had in it, it was worth what I sold it for, what he sold it for was another's worth. All parties were satisfied. Worth is a subjective thing, collectable vintage firearms are not like a commodity such as gold or soybeans. They are collectables, with prices driven by supply and demand, condition, desirability, rarity....which is determined by quantity produced and most importantly how many have survived the ages. "That same shop sold me a Radom Vis for $1500 that later sold for $3200" So it was worth $1500 to you and the seller and worth $3200 to someone else.

I grew curious when I saw 2 that were almost alike but one prices over 2000 and the other 600. The 600$ one had been at the shop for a good while and the 2000$ just came in on consignment. That is why I am asking what they sell for. As far as research goes I have not been able to find a single sale involving this revolver that is why I came here to ask. This site has always been known for its professionalism, but I see I have struch an odd chord here. If no one knows what these are selling for then I digress. I thank you for your attention.

The $600 one had been at the shop for a good while and the $2000 just came in on consignment. That is why I am asking what they sell for." If they are just alike and correct, read not boosted or faked, I would go for the $600 one. I would think the key word on the $2000 one is "consignment". Perhaps that's what the consignee considers the value to be. The shop owner has no control, to a degree, of what the consignee wishes to realize on his property. "As far as research goes I have not been able to find a single sale involving this revolver" This perhaps indicates this revolver is so seldom encountered that as you say, "no one knows what these are selling for", or buyers consider the offered prices to high. They are seldom encountered and seldom sold. Here is one offered by David Rachwal, http://www.handgunsoftheworld.com/catalog/item/4117344/6865166.htm .

Yes, I am very much interested, considering that I have collected the VIS35 & P.35(p.) pistol for over 40 years. I have maintained a serial data base for years, would you be interested in sharing the serial number and date of your's for inclusion. I keep no records of where or who has what, only the number is retained. Francis VIS aka Blind Hog "Even a Blind Hog sometimes finds an acorn"
