Value of Hk4

kdpate
I recently inherited a HK-4 not to long ago. It has a .22LR barrel in the gun but has a kit to convert it over to a 7.65 barrel. Teh gun has a 4/71 manufacturing date on it. Both the gun ad the barrel kit are in HK boxes and the gun has the owners maual with it. The two things I'm wondering is:
1) how much is the HK worth market-wise?
2) Does anyone make replacement parts for these guns if I do decide to keep it and not sell/trade it?

Any information or comments will be appreciated.

Thanks.
Kevin

    No one makes any new parts for it.

    It was derived largely from the Mauser HSc pistol.

    It would be best if you could post quality photos of the pistol with all boxes/accessories. Value would depend allot on which version you have, i.e. the early commercial, or West German police that were sold surplus in the 80's.

    They haven't been made for many years. Parts, specially firing pins are hard to come by. Don't dry fire it, the convertible rimfire/centerfire firing pin, has a reputation for being very fragile.

    Thanks for the input on the firing pin. Keep hearing this and starting to think this is a weak point for it. Here is a photo of the gun in the original box as requested. Probably not the best since they were taken with a camera phone..

    Have to have closeups of all the markings to tell if it's a commercial import or ex West German police pistol. The 70's era commercial import, would be worth more money IMHO.

    Where would these markings be at?

    There should be German Proof Marks, Importers markings and perhaps German Police markings on the pistol.

    I went back and looked on the gun itself and found the barrel, trigger guard, and upper frame to have a German eagle stamped into it. I tried to get a decent photo of all of them but my camera would not focus properly on them.
