Hi Bill,

I think that your Artillery rig is one of the finest I've ever seen.

Values and prices are, of course, what two people eventually agree on in a transaction.

If you're interested in finding a value for insuring the rig, consider the retail value of a rig at simpsonltd.com or another site that does a large business in Lugers.

Assuming everything is righteous in your rig (all matching, all original finish in high condition 97-99%) your rig would be priced at the higher end of the values on those sites.

If you're considering selling it to a collector, the value would be less. This is because auction houses and retail dealers have to make a profit to cover their overheads. There is about a 30% markup over what you'd receive from an auction sale. Probably a similar markup to retail.

I can't give you a value off hand. Others on the site may be able to.

Marc
