Anyway, it's not in my future, but I am interested in what this one may be worth.
Any sales estimates or history is appreciated.

David,
Nice gun. I happen to have SN 185. Virtually identical to yours. Don't see them often.
There was a nice one for sale last year asking $5500 or so. Don't know what it sold for, if it sold at all.
As John D. says, these do not command the premium that a HK war gun does, much less the fabled 1945 dated HK. However, if indeed, the 1945 does exist, it would have been made from the same parts, with the same first and second stage proofs as seen on these PX guns.
Hope this helps.
John
PS: Just FYI, SN121 does not appear in Gibson or on Tom Whiteman's list of known HKs. So its a new discovery.
