Shoei is going to reproduce FG42 early version soon...am sure it is going to be expensive...

In Europe price is set to 1250 EUR + shipping (from their German distributor).
However due to rising costs a decision was made that replica will be delivered without sling and dummy cartridges.
At least you can get both sling (standard German) and deactivated Mauser 7.92x57 cartridges from other sources.
If I understood correctly, Shoei will produce just enough for reservations and forecasted sales, not a large run.
It should be completed in about month or so.
Oh, and it is non-firing model Sad
