pmlogg Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Today a vertical foregrip sold for $202.50 on ebay (item 2242418609). I was amazed at the price, especially given that the seller could not tell me whether it was an original or a reproduction. Can anyone tell me what made it worth that much? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sig Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Reproducing a Colt Vertical grip I could see, reproducing a WWII vertical grip, would be a stretch. Most likely an original WWII. But unless one actually took it off the weapon it would be difficult to certify. Someone thought is was worth a $200 +. I don't buy WWII stuff but that does seem steep. michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 I always enjoy the line that it came out of grandfathers old army footlocker, in the attic. Not sure what this is, but it sure looks old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
