Columbian Madsen G1A Rifle

[Vince from MO]

I came up with one of these rifles, but has been partially sporterized. I can't find any information on it. Anyone know where to find out what it might be worth?

Thanks,
Vince

PM Buckshot, I think he has some experience with something similar.

Made at the privare danish factory: DRS = Danish Rifle Syndicate. Later DISA = Danish Industry Syndicate.
Initially a competitor for a Danish after WWII rifle but it never floated.
The only fabricated are the ones that got to Colombia.

Madsen model 1947, aka Model 58 as set up for Columbian contract. In the 1960s, prior to the GCA, they were listed by importers as Danish paratroop carbines and sold for $68. Lots of info on the web.

I have a safe queen. I've been trying to find the right bayonet. About 1/2 of them had medallions in the stock. I haven't ran across one of those. I paid $200 for mine about 5 years ago. Shot it once, cleaned it and put it in the safe.

I just got more out of a bayonet than what you paid for your rifle crazy mark. I paid $70 for it a couple years ago.

Hopefully someday I will find the bayonet at a reasonable price. I did see one for about $300 at one gun show. Too much money for me.
