Hungarian Arms PPH 380 ACP - Rare?
I recently acquired the subject model pistol. In poking around the net I found this on wiki:
"An even lesser known variant is the FEG Model PPH. This pistol is rare. The only known samples were imported to the USA by Interarms Imports, Texas in 1986. The "Interarms Imports" legend is on the right side of the slide, appears to be added by Feg, not the usual import stamp by the importer. This indicates that this pistol was part of the most likely one-time direct order by Interarms. The Feg PPH is the only known Feg firearm model which carries the "HUNGARIAN ARMS WORKS" legend."
Mine does say Interarms Imports on it etc. exactly as described above.
Is wikipedia correct, this pistol is "rare"? Does that increase the value? I don't think this is that expensive of a pistol otherwise.
Thanks.

Demand, ( Two or more buyers competing to purchase something), dictates value. Rarity in absolute terms has no bearing on value, i.e. how much would the crown jewels of England be worth if nobody wanted them.
Unless you came find somebody who is familiar with the PPH and is willing to pay a premium to get one, it's just another Hungarian alloy framed Walther PP knock-off to most folks.0
