Manurhin
Interesting post and link. I've read about them for more than 30 years...I don't believe I've ever seen a new or used one for sale in the U.S. Does anyone import them?
The last time Manurhin MR-73 were imported by Century Arms a few years back, their asking price was around $1,100. At this time, there is no U.S. importer, though Earl J. Sheehan Jr. of Earl's Repair Service, Inc. in Tewksbury, MA, the exclusive U.S. distributor of Korth revolvers, reportedly attempted to fill this gap three years ago. In Australia, the retail prices for the Manurhin product line are as follows:
Manurhin MR .32 and .38 Match in .32 S&W Long or .38 S&W Special, with KN Ortho Grip, cased: A$2499, US$1499
Manurhin MR 73 Sport in .357 S&W Magnum or .38 S&W Special, double action, with KN Grip or factory rubber grip, cased: A$2399, US$1399
Manurhin MR 88 Sport in .357 S&W Magnum, 4" barrel, rubber grip, cased: A$1499, US$899
Manurhin MR 96 in .357 Magnum with a choice of 6", 4", 3", and 2/1/2" interchangeable barrels: A$1499, US$899
