The question is what do people think is a fair market value. My area it's $25 others say around $15. I wouln't sell any for that price. Location, location, location.

$15-25 is the max in my opinion, there must of been 30 million of them made, Bill Ricca would probably have a better idea how many were made by different manufacturers

No, I have no records showing the totals. The pouches were a Quartermaster item and my records are mostly Ordnance.

I know that circa 1959-60 a group of surplus dealers (two brothers if I remember) got around 1.2 million on bid. They were mixed as stock and belt, and every color and marking you could name. Retail was probably around 25-50 cents each, which was a lot of money in those days.

And they were only a handful or carbines in private hands.

Bill,

What is your opinion an a fair market price, TODAY. I feel 1942's are harder to find. And some makers are harder to find.

In around 1972-74 I purchased over 4,000 of them. Today I have maybe 100-125 left. If you go to my web page for carbine you will find the prices. They sell very fast and as soon as I get my software for web site production, I have to raise the prices.
