Picked up a Type 90, 2nd model, in good condition. Kayaba mfg, matching numbers. Need a real world, ballpark value. The only ones I found listed, are over 1K. And they're not selling.

Treach, there is a guy that makes the AL shows and has had one (with good repro grips) for over 2 years now and can't move it with a asking price of around $800. Give Signal Man a shout.

What? You can't wait 24 hours for a response?

Don Schlickman is the flare gun expert, and he is on vacation!

I bought this beauty about a month ago for $600 here on the Forum:

HTH.

I gave 175 for mine (got lucky), but I would say they are worth around 600.

Thanks guys. Sorry Don. Just bumping it back up. Otherwise, it may have gotten lost.

Trench, you have to describe the condition in more detail and more imporatant whether it's a two barrel or three.

Duh! Thanks Edokko et al for allowing me to catch my own mistake. I just looked at the title again. It says "Type 90" not "Type 10." My apologies for posting my new Type 10*

* I'm tickled with it, anyway...

Sorry guys, got a lot going on, got in a hurry. No problem GB. I neglected to note, that there are multiple models of the three barrel Type 90. No cunfusion there. That's what happens when you ASSume. Here are some speedily taken photos. Something spilled on it, and wrinkled the paint, in places. Some pitting. Mechanically it is perfect.

The type 90 double barrel flare pistol is the most common of the Japanese flare pistols. Even so, yours should bring from $500 to $700 on Gunbroker or some other site.

Yes, I would agree that this 2nd Var double barrel Type 90 would probably be around $500 to $600 due to the finish condition. The two barrel is more common than the three barrel but if it is in very nice condition it would be at least $700. For example, I can't find a minty 3rd var two barrel to complete my T-90 collection and I thought that would be the easiest to find !

Thanks guys. Kinda what I thought. We'll see what the folks in Slidell think about it, this weekend.
