M17ap Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Looks to be a reactivated dewat that was refinished. Have some old gun magazines from the early 60's there are ads from I think Seaport traders that were selling dewat m6 military for $ 49.95. There should be no gap between barrel shoulder and receiver like you see in the pictures. Original finish should be parkerized but blue finish could also be possible. Blue should not be a high polish but more of a dull finish. Bayonet catch looks different than ones shown in books or gun magazines. Could be a later improvement over earlier style. Bayonets are not too common. Have seen prices over the past years form $50 to $ 200. Not a bad looking M6 but has been reworked. M17ap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted December 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 whats the premium on the military model? id think the rewat/refinish would knock that value back down to police model pricing....seeing high asking prices on these m6's lately....w/o any of them selling of course...

lonniejt Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Well, here goes my speculation on this. There are some Military Versions on the Transferable List...I have no idea on "how many", but my guess is the number is less than 10. There were some late Police Models that were made with the horizontal stock, but they did not come stock with the Bayonet. I think there may be around 500 M6's on the Transferable List, but I may be wrong. They do not come up for sale anymore or in quantities. M10, M11, and M12's are in the thousands. I do know that there are about 100 Guide Lamp Grease Guns on the LIST and 75 Medea Grease Guns on the LIST. I talked to the owner of Medea and he told me that there were 73 of the 45 ACP's, one in 9MM, and one in 22 LR on the LIST. I have seen some Bayonets come up for sale on various Forums and on GunBroker and the average cost is around $150. You would have to get Frank I's book or contact Dave Albert on the Serial Number to see if this really was a Military Model. I'm not saying it "ain't", but I am doubtful. Its kinda like the Reising with a folding stock - you can buy a Reising 50 at a reasonable cost and you can buy a Reising Paratrooper Stock at a premium, then you can sell a Reising 55 Paratrooper at a Premium Price, but that don't make it a real ONE! Nuff Said! LJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) ill bet there are much less than 500....id guess less than 200 2-3 a year come up for sale. at 500 youd see 1 monthly or maybe they are just so loved no one will sell Edited January 29, 2018 by huggytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
