PAK40 shell: what's it worth?

**badchild** · 03-08-2010, 07:29 PM

Just wondering (not that I'm selling) what a pak 40 shell is worth? It's complete with carry case (see thread https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/ordinance-ammo/88-15558/ ) Was bought by my mum and dad for £125 GBP, what's the going rate? Thanks

Here in the US, there are 88 flak18 shells for sale for $700 USD and flak41 shells for $1200 USD so a 7.5 has got to be worth not less than 500-700 USD, and yours probably more judging by the photos. Of course these are the prices asked so who knows!

Those prices are extremely high compared to what they were 6 or 8 years ago and I wouldn't be surprised if the reason is the difficulty involved in shipping inert ordnance internationally these days- since they may not be easily obtained from Europe any longer, the ones already in the US become much more valuable; so knowing the value in the US may not be valid elsewhere. And a 7,5cm Pak 40 round is very different than an 8,8cm Flak18 and even moreso than a Flak41, with respect to desirability and thus value. Everybody wants an '88' and the 41 is considerably rarer than the 18...

I agree completely, but should he decide to sell it, there's no telling where the buyer might be. Personally, I'm not sure I would not like a 7.5 pak better.

Hi
Im possibly interested in a shell case to go with my PaK40. If youve still interested in selling.
