Hello,
The Chesterâ??s 06/73 cannot be considered a rare pistol but what is absolutely good is that it could be really considered NIB. In fact the condition is beautiful as well as the condition of all the accessories (Interarms box, spare magazines, original documents and so on). Therefore, because of the NIB condition of all the items, the set could be considered rare.
Usually the 29/70 and 06/73 models were mainly used for shooting purposes with the related â??side effectsâ?. In addition is quite rare to find all the original papers with also some advertisings of the epoch.

The holster is good as well.

The hand-made wooden case made by Chester is really beautiful.

To sum up, I guess that this set could be considered very interesting and it will increase the value in the years. I suggest that the buyer keeps this set as it is in a collection and not for firing purposes.

The starting price for a set like this should be around 4000 dollars

I hope this helps.

Have fun,
Mauro
