Question about the Million Dollar Chip

Quick Question:

I've gotten acquainted with a guy I met at a gun show several months ago. He had several Lugers for sale (all of which I turned down so I could buy one here on the forum).

Anyway, I went to his house recently and he showed me two DWMs that were virtually in the same condition and the same year. They were also priced the same. He was kind enough to let me take down both pistols (which I enjoyed.)

The only difference I could see between the two guns was the dreaded "MILLION DOLLAR CHIP" missing from one and not the other.

Is there any general rule of thumb for the loss in value due to the missing chip? Both guns are priced under $1,400.

As always, thanks in advance for any information you can share.

PS: Have a Happy and prosperous New Year!
