Enthusiasts, not Vultures

I read a very good H.H. Munro story once about an art dealer who fleeced lots of poor, starving artists. Artists would bring her their paintings and she would do them a deal. She would write her price down and put it in an envelope. Then she would make  the artist name his price. If it was too high he would go away with nothing, but if lower than the concealed price, that is the price she would pay. Using this method she had forced prices right right down and kept artists hungry and busy. But the nasty twist was that she would sneeringly tortment them by telling them what she would have paid if they had bid higher.

So, two artists clubbed together and painted a humiliating nude with the dealer's head on it and hung it publically. When the dealer demanded to buy it, they offered her the same deal. The dealer offered an exhorbitantly high amount, for fear of losing the picture. The deal was done.

And when she demanded to know the concealed price?

One penny.

Why the story? It was brought to mind by some of the skinflint behaviour of dealers who have approached me recently. My prices are my prices. Offer me a deal, by all means, but get the price wrong and I will not even answer your email; just block you. I am sick of the insultingly low offers I have received (along with sob stories designed to force prices down).  Particularly despicable are the weasels who pretend to be collectors andthen tell you they are short of cash at the moment...blah blah blah

This site was set up to sell my collection to collectors. Enthusiasts, not vultures.

UZI

Iconic Israeli sub-machinegun with quick release wooden stock. You will pay over £700 for a fully cocking "old spec" deactivated Uzi, but for half that you can pull the cocking lever back on this one and pull the trigger (though it will not cock, as such). Loads of fun! Great to hold.

Deactivated in 1999

£350

postage extra - paid by buyer

posting abroad

I have received a number of enquiries from buyers outside the UK. I am sorry but I have to be firm on this - I will not get embroiled in the legal and technical complications of posting deactivated guns to foreign countries. I am not certain of the legalities and am willing to accept what one gun dealer assures me is the case, that under certain circumstances it can be done, but I don't want to get involved. It is a minefield and the returns on a sale could not adequately compensate for the huge hassle involved.

If you are outside the UK and want one of my deacs, please arrange for a trusted friend in the UK to buy them from me on your behalf.

Thank you

Yugoslavian M56 - New Spec - "Poor Man's MP40"

Top three photos of my M56 are courtesy of Rytons who sold me it.

As you can see, the M56 submachine gun was very much a poor man's MP40, which it copied after WW2, and as I write, this is the closest I ever got to owning the iconic Schmeisser (Erma) machine gun - apart from the one my Action Man had!

It was blowback operated, full automatic-only weapon that fired from open bolt. The bolt system is of simple design, with exposed, large diameter return spring. The cocking handle is located at the right side of the bolt and doubles as a manual safety - pushing it inwards locks the bolt in open or closed position. The stock is copied from MP40 and folds down and forward to save the length. Sights are of open type, with flip-up rear, marked for 100 and 200 meters range. One unusual feature of M56 is that it has a bayonet lug on the barrel and thus can accept a knife-bayonet.
