K�¼'s are a mixed breed of "experts" opnions. What I mean is that I have seen people get all excited about K�¼'s and other collectors ignore or turn their nose up at them.

It would be more helpful if we as collectors could figure out their true origins, which is possible, but unlikely.

Value... The price is fair, some would say you were not getting full value, but on the other hand you were offered $200 locally. I said I'd give you 1K, and I was serious. It is possible these are "fake" magazines, i.e. made up as a rig, but I don't think that is likely either.

Having a "set" of mags (but not matching the gun) a holster and gun is worth the value of all, altogether? 41 byf is worth $1400-$1800, holster is worth $100-$150 depending on shape it is in, extra mag is worth $150?

So, altogether the price offered is fair, all depending on what a collector feels that a K�¼ is worth as "extra" value.
