Yes, I know what that's all about (worth only what someone will pay for it)!! I was just trying to get a sense of current range - figure a pretty nice gun that a reputable dealer would put in that condition with a matching mag. I realize that the 2nd matching mag adds yet another premium to the gun, etc. But these come up for sale so rarely, it makes me wonder.

As to the quantities for each of the year's, I figured you could go by the recorded serial numbers in Gibson's book, as a rough rule of thumb. More recorded numbers would possibly mean more examples of the gun. However, the actual quantities recorded are so low that it's really impossible to extrapolate from just that one observation. Just pondering out loud I suppose.
