It's a Chinese Broomhandle clone.
I am looking for any information on it's history, manufacturer, date, value, etc.

The only ones I have seen with that extended magwell are Chinese 45acp, Those are called Shansei broomhandles after the Shansei arsenal where they were made. I see them on Gunbroker for $1500-$3000. pretty pricey.
Yours looks freshly painted which makes it look better but looses some collector value. I believe the originals are WW2 era, so anything that looks really nice is quite suspect. Hopefully its not pot metal. Hey, if it is 45acp and not a zinc reproduction I would love to have it myself. Good luck! |

criio1, thanks for the info! No problem. I save articles time to time for no particular reason. You happen to be in luck on this one. Its a shotgun news from last year in August (i don't pick up shotgun news as often as i like) it's the only magazine i have here at work. And i rarely work Saturday nights. And i saved the one magazine because it talked about broomhandles. |
