divorce sell help, 1934 Hotshkiss cannon

Post by Frank USMC » Fri Aug 25, 2017 12:49 pm

Ok, guys, I have helped some of you out, and I have bought stuff from some of you.. now, I need some help. I do not know if I am breaking any rules here, but, point me in the right direction, or PM me with the answers. Out of the blue, my perfect marriage has crashed, nobody saw it coming. I have a 1934 25mm antitank Hotchkiss cannon. It is painted back as a capture german gun. It has a 50.cal barrel welded into the breach to fire blanks. It has french tires on it that are in great shape, the flash hider is still there, and it comes with a spare firing pin spring. What are they going for now? I can send send photos, but do not know how to post. Thank you for any help.

First off. Sorry to hear about your pending troubles.
As to the value of your cannon I can't offer any clues.
If you do establish a price I'd like a shot at owning it.

Frank,
Sorry about your troubles. Contact Austringer here on the G503 board......

I know him well and have sold him a large bore piece. He keeps up with the current prices and will likely be able to give you an idea of its value as well as possibly help you move it.

I hate to rain on your already-rained-on parade, but you should check with your state's applicable divorce laws in regards to selling property within a certain time before the actual paperwork/divorce proceedings. Been there, done that. I have been divorced 7 times. and I have learned (the hard way) that you NEED to check this out. Ask the lawyer you have already retained.

It might just be me, but I don't see anywhere that he is offering if for sale.

I read it as he is just asking the value.

I have an idea why he might want to know that, but will keep it to myself. :wink:

Thanks for the comments, still looking for the value. This something I thought, or the whole area thought, I would be doing. Thanks again.

Several months back I was watching 2 25mm Hotshkiss or Poteau (sp) for sale and on the top end they were ASKING 25K for one in very nice condition; I said asking and it did not sell. The prices came down to 20K and then 18K. The reason I was looking was that there was an estate here that had one for sale. It did have a breach problem but finally sold for 12K.

Best of Luck, been there!
