A few Std C96 went through my hands, this is the best

[alvin]

I pick up C96 based on variation. Standard C96 is relative easy to come, so requires 98%+mint bore+matching stock. If it's Turkish, I would accept fair condition without stock. Depends on how hard to find one.

Here is Joe Schroeder summarized C96 value, based on old data. Nowadays, very hard to find C96 at this price level. Market price almost doubled on some variations. We can consider the table being Joe's cost on these.
