Bergmann MP-35i Magazine Value

There is an MP35i Bergmann mag on Gunbroker for almost $900 right now. Is that crazy, or an actual value?

Never see them for sale so I am genuinely curious about the opinions of the members here on a good value for these.

No one has said its crazy, yet!

Had not tried with mine, but aren't the MP28 and MP35/I magazines interchangeable? $ 900 sounds pretty expensive. Been a time since one was offered for sale (especially due to the magazine bans), but the Bergmann MP magazines in Europe were at around € 100 each.

The MP35i magazine is proprietary- It is not interchangeable with any other magazine without modification. The MP35i mag is a double stack, double feed magazine. The MP28 uses a double stack single feed, like the MP40. The closest mag is an MP34 Steyr, but you need to solder a backing plate onto the rear of the mag to act as a spacer/stop to keep it from being over inserted and obstructing the bolt travel. Some folks have modified Uzi magazine to work with the MP35i, but they look bad and obviously not original.

I bought a MP35i kit without a mag a few years ago, and I found that MP35i mags are rarer then almost any other WWII German SMG magazine. At least 20x rarer then MP38/40 mags, when I compare the numbers of MP40 mags I have seen for sale to the MP35i mags that have surfaced for sale.

I still think $900 is too much.... And that mag has not sold yet so the market is speaking for itself.

Oh you are right, I just re-checked. MP35/I mag doesn't fit the MP28. Seems the 24 round mags are rarer, only have two of them, while I counted 11 mags for 32 rounds. But need to admit that I bought two MP35/I mag pouches with three 32 round mags each, and the other two came with the MP35/I's.
