Found a 1915 DWM artillery

Edward, I believe the 1915 DWM LP08 is second only to the 1914 DWM LP08 in scarcity. Given that, a 75% 1915 piece should be worth $1500 to $2000 but that may not be the case. Certainly the lucky buyer can find one cheaper.

I have found that collectors vary...many don't know what they are buying and pay premiums for boosted pieces (I was one of these in an earlier life), others wait/hunt a lifetime for the right piece. Others buy what is available with the hope of up-grading in the future as better examples are found.

I have seen many fine but boring 1917's go for more than $2000 over the last two years. All things being equal...stock, mags, holster; a 70% 1915 is worth more than a 95% 1917.
