The latest reference sales.... Ralph M sold two instances in March. I inspected both in hands. Both are 80% with good bore. One came to me and cost me about $5k. Another one sold probably $4k. I could have been a little bit more flexible if I had registered both (but I only registered one, that's a mistake). Unexpectedly, someone competed the price up. On brighter side, my muzzle crown is good, the muzzle on the other one is marred. But that alone does not really justify the price delta. I have to agree that the other one got better deal. The two are comparable in general.
If those go $4k, $5k, then this one, ,,,,, , you know, people playing guns have their ranges regardless of gun types. But I noticed players of C96s and Lugers usually have tolerance of $1k or $2k -- if someone can pay $3k for this one, why not wait next one for $4k.... this is a "4x" gun (four times price of a standard C96 in similar condition), there should be other good samples showing up in future.
Here is the one.
