Shooter value

Similar to others here, I paid $1000 for an all matching commercial 1920's 5 digit gun with a large spot of finish rash but otherwise great blue (my "collectible shooter" as I call it), another $1000 for a G.T. build Mauser shooter with different toggle train that has functioned flawlessly, and another ~$1500 for a matching Erfurt Artillery shooter that has been refinished and re-strawed.

My shooters just happen to be really nice looking to me and all have worked without a hitch so far, easily worth the money. I've seen more mongrel and problematic shooters sell for $900 or even lower. Heck, I saw a nice looking, original finish-but British proofed- 1918 DWM just go for $925 on the other gun boards, and I wouldn't even call that a shooter as the British proofs to me are part of the gun's WWI or WWII heritage as a British trophy.
