Those Mysterious Forty-fives

Greetings from a newbe Lugermann. Regarding the 45ACP US Army trials Luger, a friend and I had a discussion the other day over the possible auction price on such a rare pistol. I realize this may be a tough question, but curious as to what the experts on this site may peg as a reasonable (?!) price for such a rare bird, say in 90% condition.

My friend, who is no stranger to collectable firearms would fix the winning bid at around $100,000. My opinion is that some very wealthy collector would pay between $500,000 and 1 Milllion dollars for one of these historic pistols. Which of us is closer to the truth? Thanks in advance for your replies. Cheers.
