Very nice example & tks for the post. AG42's are definitely holding their value. Pricey (sold) specimens on GB range from ~1,800 to almost 3 thou! Link has recently solds, but not entirely up to date.

Interesting... I figured they must be up in price since I snagged this one but didnt know they were that high. Interesting Tid bit on the origins of this one... I purchased it from a seller liquidating some of the firearms from James Earl Jones. Apparently he was an avid collector in through the years. I have a few of them now. I remember him as being the guy behind Darth Vader in star wars one of my favorite movies growing up.

Very nice! The Ljungman (yoon'-mun) is definitely a beautifully designed and executed semiautomatic rifle. Mine was produced about 3K after yours in 1943 as well.

I remember when I first got into collecting 8 years ago these were sub-1K, but by the time I got mine 2.5 years ago, I felt fortunate to pay just a bit north of 1K.

I had to pull my book... I paid 850 in 2017. Saw it and snatched it when it hit the honey milsurp seller I still paroose to this day.

Great grab! I'd say that was under market value, even 4 years ago

42's, Hakims & Rasheeds - all of 'em are going up in price everyday. They used to be 'regulars' on the pawn shop wall - not anymore.

Yep I picked up all of them with in about a 2 year span. Luck on two of them and a friend had two ... I got his old one with a refinished stock. Still a good shooter.
