Just had to post the picture. Apparently it can be yours for $8500.

Booooooing!
Linkey?
It also says it's import-marked, so there's that...

Do you have a useful rule of thumb for price offset due to import marks?
Would it vary because of rarity, either absolute or merely because few in US are unmarked, or by price level?

I have a very good Persian friend and gun enthusiast I just sent the link to. His reply? “Damn you!!”
If you want it, hurry.
I copy your Persian friends sentiments!
That's a nice piece but I have a lot going on; prudence tells me to defer.
Some of the photos look a bit off to me. For that price I'd like to get eyes on.
Nothing against the vendor; likely my eyes.

Thanks for the heads-up, but I only posted it for the cool factor. I'm saving myself for a Webley-Fosbery which I'll probably never get around to buying anyway.

There's a rare .38 Webley-Fosbery up for auction with a $18K-28K estimate and a $15K start price. Yikes! Me, I want the one that shot Miles. Maybe still sitting an a Hollywood prop room?
On the tangent about import marks, definitely matters with rarity of the item and size/location of the mark as variables. That French Navy MAB D that I just got has one of the earlier small CAI import marks and the std country of manuf mark required at that time. Didn't phase me as the question of "when will I see another of these again?" was quickly answered with probably never since I only know of one other (owned by uber collector Mark of site P38guns.com). Do you want it bad enough to live with the import mark?
