With all this high prices Morphys is getting for 38a and 38/42s Im thinking of selling my 38/44. Its all original w expected wear and runs 100%. Post war. Mine is the only one Ive ever seen for sale, so I dont know prices. If a ww2 38/42 gets $57,000 at Morphys Id guess my gun has decent value too????

I know I have 2 spare smooth barrels and 1 fluted

Are you looking for smooth or fluted? My fluted is nos but the bore has a bit of frosting starting. Bore Id rate a 7. Exterior is 100% perfection

Ive noticed sturm guns sell very slowly and often for less than market. Id have Rodney offering me $5,000 :). And guys treating my Ad like its a forum asking stupid questions

 

Ive sold guns on GB that got bid up to significantly more than expected. With this gun Im not sure of value. I might get 0 bids, 1 bid or could get a few. We will see what the market is. I dont need to sell it. Ive got 10 watchers in 10 hours. With sturm id have 1-2 stupid questions by now.

Why list it on GB where you have to pay a commission? Sturmgewehr is free and has a more focused audience

More free advertising, that's why! Seller and buyer can agree on a private transaction off of Gunbroker (really just a middle man) and poof -- no sales tax or GB seller's premium.

I see in your listing you got a extra 38/42 barrel? Are you gonna sell it also? I don't have much rifling left on mine, may want a spare. I also bought mine about six years ago and almost choked when I saw that auction price.

 

APEX Gun Parts has a supply of original Beretta Model 38/44 barrels listed for sale on the web site.

I have one of these set aside as a spare.

There is also about 30 more magazines inbound to be restocked.

Im watching this auction too. I have a smooth barrel 38/42 bring back with the 4UT stamp on the stock. I cant imagine its worth the same or close to a MP44 now.

 

The "4UT" marking is interesting.

I once owned a Beretta Model 1935 pistol with that marking.

My SMG is also marked on the stock.

My stock is also marked 4UT with a 44 under that. Mine is a vet bringback (I got the paperwork he filled out in 1947).

They are only charging for 8-10 states. Not all unless it changed from 3 days ago when I checked

That is correct. As luck would have it, my first sale this year was to someone in Georgia. It added an extra $161 to the deal.

How is the tax collected from the seller??

It will be billed to the seller in the same way that the GunBroker fees are billed. If the seller does not collect the tax, he will still be billed for it. GunBroker does an invoice for each transaction that has the taxes listed on it.

I took a few videos of it running today and posted them in my ad. Dont laugh too hard at my phone falling over. I think Ruben/MWT/Spiwak should include a function video with their ads. It cant hurt! Im getting lots of followers and a few emails on the gun. I think it may sell. At a minimum its been noticed. I listed my fluted 42 barrel. Im assuming its pretty rare? ive only seen 1 other and mine looks like it could be NOS
