Using Flatside 20-shot sold via RIAC two days ago as another example, total cost was $51750. It has matching stock, that's a big factor, which brings in extra 40% - 100% to the gun. Let's go to the extreme and count the stock as 100%, then bare gun was $25875 (51750 / 2). Convert that into a common wartime 7,63mm pistol, $25875 20-shot is equivalent of a $1293 standard pistol (25875 / 20 = 1293)

If there is a standard 7,63mm pistol in this condition asking $1293, it will be considered being expensive and hard to sell. So, that 20-shot conehammer was a little bit expensive. Above chart helps converting scarce and rare C96 into common C96 that we met every month to tell the relative value. So, it's very useful. Of course, very high condition gun or rare gun could break the chart here and there. That's market behavior.
