thanks Jim ..appreciated ...what were they coloured when not black ??
will post pics of them both when they get here..can't wait I really love the Japanese made replicas...getting addicted also have a MGC Beretta SMG and MGC S&W M76...and a newer remake of the Jap 1911 by Keystone Arsenal
there is no comparison compared to the Denix we have to get here in Oz usually

After a certain year all metaloc pistols are yellow (gold) in color, this was mandated by Japanese law, and is why all the imitations now are either ABS, or Heavy weigh plastic ( A Zinc, plastic mix) the imitation makers have done very well, and the HW guns do feel quite real, still not the same as real metal though.

thanks Josh...understand now... went to the first gun show to be held in Rockhampton QLD on weekend ( unfortuanately not a lot ..or as many as needed to make it a future event turned up ...did pick up a nice metal replica panzerfaust though and some nice ordnance ) general consensus among dealers in militaria etc is a early Jap replica handgun is worth at least AUD $ 500 plus ..more if with box etc ...SMGs etc the sky is the limit ( or your wallet) cheers mate

Indeed, some items are rare! and none of the items are becoming cheaper as time goes on either.
