Austrian Marked M1 Carbines

[hockeybuff]

I was curious to know if the Austrian marked M1's are getting a premium for them or not. If so how much? I know the Bavarian ones are getting more interest but how about the Austrian ones?

Thanks

They aren't separated. People have been getting these via CMP but I'm referring to the ones with the Austrian marks on the bottom of the trigger guard to ID them as issued to Austrian units. (They have LGK XX and usually a 4 digit number following as a rack number)

Sorry if I wasn't being clear. On those Carbines, have people been reselling them at a premium or just the basic price?

Hockybuff: I have an "Austrian/Bavarian" i picked up at CMP a month or so ago. Recvr marked "Bav Forestry Police" and trigger housing has LGK ##. Tag on it said "BAV". It was priced as a Service Grade Inland. I think, in time, it may be a more valuable than one without the markings, but who knows. If CMP prices the ones they haven't yet put on the market higher then I would think mine and others like it will be worth a bit more. Just a guess at this point, but they do have documented history..so to speak.
