weatherby Mark v

kwdweld

In 1981 weatherby made two Mark V'S for each state, my brother inlaw has one that reads 81nh01. He is looking for a value and any info that he can find. so i told him i would check on the forum to see what you guy's could come up with. Can't get ant photo but the stock is carved, the barrel is inlaid in gold and the butt has an inlaid emblem that reads 81NH01, any info would be great.

Kinda several questions in one: I recieved a lefty (yes I shoot backwards) Weatherby Mark V from a friend. It has the rosewood forend tip and a white diamond inlay in the pistol grip. I am assuming it is a deluxe model correct? It also says 7mm Magnum on the barrel, am I also correct in assuming that that is 7mm Weatherby Magnum? SN# P56820 Made in W Germany. What was the date of manufacture? Value? If you can help answer any of these question it would be helpful. You know more than I do!

Thanks heaps,
Jeremy

Keith -

We owned the DEL02 gun. I assume the gun is unfired with no sights and housed in a nice aluminum case with the state logo.

The gun was purchased at a good price by my son about ten years ago. He sold it to Cabelas at a nice profit. Assuming a good store margin I'd call the retail at about $5k +. (My son tripled his investment, so I expect my guess low on the retail side.)

Good luck.
