There's a new reference thread about the upcoming Rock Island Firearms Auction (May 20, 21 & 22, 2011) posted in the Commercial Auction and Sale "Gossip" (click here) forum.
For serious 1903 collectors, check out Lot #3653 Rare Pedersen Device with Metal Case and U.S. Model 1903 Springfield Mark I Rifle (click here) going for an estimated price: $40,000 - $60,000.

thats probably correct for a 'real one'
I thought a Pedersen Device sold last year at Knob Creek. Anybody recall? Sold for $8k. When you have bills to pay...
I wonder if there will be a US Marshall attached to it. As there are not supposed to be any of these still floating around. Anyone know if it has PPW?
No reason why, unless you said the above in jest. The Pedersen Device is semi-automatic and perfectly legal to own in most states. Estimates of those still left range from a couple of dozen to as many as a 100.
Ppw???
And 20 or so years ago, one sat on a table at a small Kansas gun show for $2,500.00 It had everything with it including some spare magazines in the carrier. A lot of money back then.
