Impact of mismatches on value?

Unfortunately that little detail will place your gun in the shooter catagory for sure, unless it is otherwise a rare or special model.
I recently had an extremely nice, matched early DWM lower with an extremely nice early Erfurt upper. As beautiful as it was, the mismatched issue hurt its value.
Hard to access % valuation loss, but I, with limited experience, would expect a 40% hit or so.
Might not hurt to watch for matching parts. Just may be worth your time.
