M2 9mm Transferable Machine Pistol: Help with market value

Hero Gear · Post by **Hero Gear** » Sat May 31, 2008 10:09 am

We have a rarely seen MP2 9mm Machine Pistol on a Form 4 in TN that is going up for sale.
It has been in the same owner's collection since 1986, and has a very low round count.
The gun will come with 2 magazines and a new Storm Case.

We are trying to nail down the actual value or suggested price for this gun.
I thought I would ask the experts here on ST and see what you guys had to say.

I voted 10k+ by mistake, please ignore it. I was stupidly expecting the last answer to be 'i don't know) and didn't even read. I have no idea how to value one of those.

Perhaps start an auction at $3k and see where it goes? I've not seen one up for sale. Period.

There was an article on that MG less than 6 months ago in SAR. IIRC, the article stated only 100 or so are transferable.

I would get an expert opinion from a disinterested party before putting it up for sale.

My copy of SAR is in Georgia right now, so I can't look it up for you.

+1, that sounds like a good idea

Yeah, I think I will list it on GunBroker later today.

I have contact SAR for a copy of that article, which I will include with the MG.

"Inernational?" Was the T in the roll mark too much expensive?

I do believe somebody on Arfcom swiped your pics, Hero Gear. Or at least one of them.

I think the auction started at 3k is a good idea and hopefully one of they guys who thinks it is worth 10k bids it up for you.

Purchased by original owner 4/14/86 from Music City Arms, Co. Nashville, TN.

I dont know the original manufacture date.

Form 4 signed by Metro Nashville Police on 4/16/86
Form 4 approved and stamp issued 8/28/86

Not bad considering the time frame this was happening.

Certainly a primitive looking weapon. Sounds like it might be an interesting piece for a collector maybe. I'd second the motion to start it at 3k and see what happens.

Looks as if it was made in a garage - late at night.

Yea, this is one of many firearms that is only interesting because of it's rate of fire. Nothing else about it does anything for me at all.

The semi-auto version should be worth about $129.99.

Educate me. Is there some unusual/interesting history behind it's design or manufacturer? Any reason it's collectable besides it's an auto?

garandman · Post by **garandman** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 6:46 am

What it worth? No idea.

What I'd be willing to pay? $2,000 max.

But I'm def more into shouder fired MG's.
