Does Anyone Know What A Remington 44 Army Cap Gun Is Worth?

[viksy]

Hi i have an old toy remington 44 army cap gun does anybody know what it's worth?

[shoota]

If it is mint and boxed then I would guess at £100 - £150.
If it is in 'played with' condition without a box I would guess at £5 - £15.

Thank you shoota

This one is a .36 caliber but may be near what you have. Here in the U.S. such toys usually sell for moret han the asking price on this e-Bay add:

To be a toy, that one's frightningly realistic, Clanad!

I suspect that a toy that realistic in the UK might come into the "replica" category and thus need to be handled carefully in respect of sales, carrying in public etcetera.

[retrocop]

That's why Federal laws forbid it being shipped to the UK heathfield. I can't even order component parts for my rifle i.e. magazines etc. by M.O. from the states
I wish we had more info on viksy's Remington. Age,Maker, etc would be useful

I did try selling it on ebay but it got removed because they said it's a replica of a real gun so i sold it privately today to the guy that was bidding on it for £30. hope i haven't made a mistake though!

[shoota]

Without knowing the condition viksy I think that sounds OK.
If it was in really nice nick then maybe it is a bit low but if 'played with' condition then that's fine.
Either way it's £30 you didn't have before....

Yes that's true after all £30 comes in very handy when you've got kids to try and entertain in the holidays. And wow i can see exactly why they removed it now as it looks just like the real thing! Ebay have just removed an old policeman's truncheon aswell as it's classes as a weapon, i should of known better really after the cap gun. Now where to get rid of that.....

[woofgang]

viksy have you really got a truncheon?

[viksy]

Yes i have lol. It's an old wooden one with a leather strap but don't know where to sell it

Be careful with your description and try again, then, viksy - this one's on sale on eBay at the moment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/police-truncheon-/131275813777?pt=Adult_Fancy_Dress_UK&;hash=item1e90a5f391

[viksy]

I've just taken a look, it's very small isn't it? I'm not sure how that would of come in handy. I did phone ebay and they said i can't relist it and they are constantly scanning for other similar items and removing them. And because I've had 2 marks now for that and the cap gun if i get another my account could be banned so don't want to risk it.

[boxtops]

I'd agree with that, then!

What about your local auction house? Police and service memorabilia are often popular with collectors.

[woofgang]

how much do you want for it?
