42 code dated 1939

Jack Lawman · 04-09-2003, 01:38 PM

I just contracted to buy a 1939 code 42. Haven't gotten it yet, but will post pics when I do. It has a mismatched mag, but all exterior numbers match. Looks to be 85%-95% (although I don't think I'll ever be able to tell the difference between 95% and 98%). I don't know if it's original. My question is... Is there any rare variation 1939 42 code that would place the value around $1000 (in said condition)? Does a $650-$800 value for an all matching run-of-the-mill original sound about right?

Thanks for any help,
Jack
