Ultra-Hi Miroku Japan

[Jappo]

Howdy all,
Hope this question is ok on here. There is a local person offered me a 45 caliber pistol. A Hi-Hunter Miroku Japan.
I asked him how much, he said make him an offer. I don't like putting prices on other peoples stuff. He has 3 other rifles for sale along with this pistol. He's was actually wanting a lump sum for all four items. More than I can afford and have no use for. Told him I might be interested in the pistol. I have no idea on the value. The MADE IN JAPAN thing kinda makes a person leary about it.
He said it functions as it should and the bore is shiny.
Even if I don't "need" it. What would be a fair price for one of these?

Miroku manufactured a lot of unmentionables for Browning and the quality of those was excellent!

I do like Miroku firearms, they are well made and reproduction cartridge guns are spot on. So I don't know how this pistol came out of BC Miroku. The architecture is wrong, the trigger and trigger guard appear unfinished, and the wood looks like an old 2X4; I would say about $75 for parts or a beginning project piece.

No, that makes it more desirable, but don't clue him in on it. You might get it for a song.

Well I went ahead and got it. Along with a 45 caliber CVA double trigger and iron rear sight. Patch box, double wedge. Only thing wrong with it is set trigger is not working.
I have the original photo. I have it tore down already. Haven't took the triggers off yet.
Got em both for $180. He threw in a white powder horn.

After closer inspection I believe it was a kit. The front cap is in the rough. The trigger and guard need to be inletted more. Besides that it shoots. The trigger is a lot different than those wobbly Dikar, Jukar CVAs
