benulis55 Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 I bought my first model 50 about a year ago without knowing a thing about them. (I got it for 1,000 with 3 mags so i couldnt pass it up) It turned out to be a very nice gun with many extra parts. I've seen you guys talk about war era reisings and C&R ones. Mine has a S###### type serial number. What does the S mean? P.S I'm still lookin for some more mags like everyone else if you have any for sale name your price. Thanks for the great info on these great guns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpy223 Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 From Frank Iannamico's book...... QUOTE The last known year of manufacture was 1957 with 907 total guns being made. These last Reising submachine guns have a letter S preceeding the serial number. Serial numbers range from S4700 to S5607. The S prefix Reisings are rather common today on the U.S. collector market. Sounds like you got one of the "newer" ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benulis55 Posted January 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Cool, I dont plan on selling my baby, but does this make my gun worth less?? Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpy223 Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I am pretty new at this but it has been my observation that there doesn't really seem to be any additional value placed on a Reising according to year of production. Reisings seem to sell according to their general condition and included accessories. That is just my observation for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
