I am trying to think the logic behind E&P's chart. It definitely does NOT reflect production volume. But I found it's a very practical chart. Erickson and Pate summarized the inter-relationship of those C96s very well.

Say, if I have an excellent original "1x Wartime Small Ring" for sale at $1400-1500 (pretty much reflect today's market), then my nice "2.5x Flatside Large Ring" in similar condition should value at $1400-1500 x 2.5 = $3500-3750. A 1930 in similar condition should value at $1400-$1500 x 1.5 = $2100-$2250. Accurate enough. Of course, this chart did not reflect special marking, special provenance, matching shoulder stock, harness etc. Just plain gun relationship. The only deviation from this chart is "Red 9", probably due to higher demand on that variation from collectors.

Or, say, a matching 1x Wartime small ring in lower condition, $900 on market. Then, my 20-shot in similar condition from Julia $900 x 20 = $18k. The numbers are very close. Of course, $900 cannot find matching C96 with factory stock, but consider there are more buyers on basic models, so larger swing on price.
