Putting up for sale my Tanaka Works revolver.
This is a pretty rare beast, collectors item really- I got it around 4 years ago and had to get it sourced by the Elite Shooting Centre as I couldn't find one anywhere. There is slight damage to the outside of the box as my cat is a bit of a git.
I'm not willing to budge on price- I had it appraised by two very knowledgable chaps and if nobody wants to buy at this price, then I'll just keep it. Seems a shame though, as a collector would enjoy this way more than I do, I bought it for a scifi costume and a Webley has since been released, so bought one of those and this is now surplus to requirements. It's a crime for this to be sitting in a cupboard.
I wasn't aware that these were used during WW2 until I had a heads up from my lovely mate No1SonUk, which is why this is being advertised here. Thanks for that bud!
Thanks for looking.
Make: Tanaka Works
Gun/Model: Smith and Wesson M10 Police and Military (heavyweight)
Accessories: Everything that came with it in the box, including the gas adaptor.
Condition: Pretty much mint. Slight weathering effect on grips to make them look more realistic. See pics!
FPS: 240 last time it was chronoed- that was a while ago though. I did test fire it yesterday and it not only happily punched through a double walled cardboard box, a stray ricochet scared the cat. Who was in the next room. So I'm
guessing the fps is still entirely acceptable.
Splits/Swaps/Part Exchange: No/No/No
Price/Payment: £250 (If cash on collection, failing that buyer to pay Paypal fees and postage via Parcel Force 48- this will not be dispatched until funds are cleared) Collection in the Scottish Borders, or from the Fort.
(Before anyone gets humpy and all animal rights on me, the ricochet did NOT hit the cat. Just scared him and he then hid in the bathroom. He's come out of there now, and there doesn't appear to be any sign of PTSD. Which is nice.)
More pictures.
And some more.
In case anyone has any qualms about dealing with a new poster, I can vouch for Kelspook for what it's worth.
She originally posted this on Facebook, and I suggested it might gain some interest here.
