Not many people studied about King Luis vs those who studied and had relatives who fought in WW2. Also FG42 was used in modern hard-core battles vs this rifle which probably was never fired in anger. And in practical terms the FG is still a very deadly weapon while this is just a museum piece.

@WJS774 A lot of people are survivalist types who would certainly consider buying the FG42 to use it if a global catastrophe happens. I also think the lack of education about French kings is a big reason why more people won't be actively looking to buy things like this one.

@WJS774 You're correct, although being a shootable full auto certainly adds to the value vs a gun you can't shoot. I know if I bought it I would put as many rounds as I can through it but not too much to cause damage to the weakly-made bits

do these symbols have deep meaning or they're just nice artistic shapes?
