Looking for price on Mint 1936 S/42

Book value for dated S/42 in excellent condition is $1.6k (Standard Catalog of Firearms, by Dan Shideler, 2009 Ed)

The definition excellent is strict: 98% in blue, grip, and bore. Must be 100% original factory condition without refinishing, repair, alterations or additions of any kind. Sight must be factory as well.

A little bit tough. If I had an excellent one, it would be a little bit hard for me to let it go at the book value though, unless I am desperate.
