    Pedersen Device - MAGAZINE ONLY - Value?

    Hello all.
    Thought I'd ask for a bit of advice on an auction BEFORE making a purchase for once

    I have my eye on an auction in a week or so that has a Pedersen Device magazine. Just the magazine. Considering the device itself is so incredibly rare, I don't know where to begin pricing an accessory.

    Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    Thanks!!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Not worth a penny here in NJ... over 10 round capacity semi-auto magazines are banned, no grandfathering....

    Well it does enable you to semi-automatically shoot an anemic and rare round through an even rarer 100 year old firearm. Super dangerous. I can see why it'd be outlawed

    I'd be making them from something if I had one, but the device is so expensive who would want to shoot them? Too bad no one made repros.

    I gather the round was used as the basis for that Frenchicon round and apparently that’s a little easier to track down.

    I have to imagine there’s at least a handful of guys out there really hurting for a magazine.

    Like I said, how do you price a magazine that is used with a $50,000 “firearm?”

    Agreed, someone here will have an idea. Unless you put it on Gunbroker or some such and let it find it's own price?

    I heard that some repro Pedersen devices had been manufactured years ago along with some repro magazines. My question, could a bullet fired from a Pedersen device penetrate a Germanicon helmet at close range ?

    Also were all Pedersen magazines inter-changeable with the Model 1903, Model 1917 and Remington Mosin Nagant rifles ?

    Well that would be a bummer if it was a repro.
    Unfortunately I had my dates mixed up and the auction ended last night...fortunately my absentee bid held off the competition.
    I'll post some pics once it gets here. This is all I have for now:

    As you can see, they didn't know what it was. It was just tossed in a lot with a bunch of other mags and accessories.

    Here is the Pedersen 1903 for sale in Ontario Canadaicon. I have nothing to do with the vendor , but they do get some nice eye candy frequently. Just passing it along in the event someone can use the lead.
