  My dad passed away a couple of years ago and my brother & I just recently got around to going thru his house to prepare it for sale. He lives out of the country & I live several states away so it has been empty since his passing. My dad always had hunting & sporting arms since I can remember but no one knew he was a collector of asault weapons. There were all types of guns hidden in every corner of his house, most of which I have been able to identify. Many of which were bring backs from Germany as he was a pilot during the war. The two I need help with are an "ENCOM MK-IV .45. It has a horizontal mag well & appears to fire from an open bolt. The other being a DEMRO, TAC 1. This gun is unique in that it is stamped 9mm or .45acp. It had two barrels, bolt adapter, magazine well sleeve for 9mm. There are six of each caliber magazines. A button can be pushed on the rear and the stock removed. It has a grip safety similar to a 1911 & a "combination lock built into the trigger group. It also fires from an open bolt. Anyone have information about these. Are they collector items?, Legal or not. Also found a new in box HK SP 89. What are their current value. Thanks

  The new in the box HK sell in the $3000 range today and is a rather high demand item among collectors. The ENCOM was a rather seldom seen assault pistol made in the early 1980's. A BATF ruling prohibited the production of semiautomatic firearm firing from an open bolt and that was pretty much the end for ENCOM although I think some were built as closed bolt guns. You don't see these around much anymore but most legal open bolt semi's sell in the $700+ range. I was never too impressed with the quality of these to begin with. The TAC started off as DEMRO and ended up as Mandall's. These are much more common, although the caliber conversion is rather rare. A NIB TAC Carbine sells in the $600 range and you could get a couple of hundred more with the conversion. These firearms are subject to considerable variations in pricing depending on local market conditions since they are banned in some locations. The HK is the winner in this group by a long shot.

  First let me say thank you for your knowledgeable reply Mr Christian. From what I have read HK products seem to be in high demand, and I suppose that is why most of his collection are HK products. Some I won't mention but there are several P7-M8s-NIB, & two shotguns with metal stocks that fold over the top. No one ever knew he had these and I suppose it was just an infacuation he must have aquired. Thanks again for your info. May be calling again as I locate others.
