Hi sschultz...

The prices in my database are what folks actually paid for these, rather then asking prices from the "seller". In the majority of the cases, the asking price has been the "selling" price (except for the RIG prices).

As for re-blued HK's - it's really dependent on the quality of the "job". I've seen original side-framed inscribed "reblues" go for about $700, as all the edges have been smoothed over with aggressive buffing. At the other end of the extreme - I've seen a 1942-pitted mess be purchased for $1500 and sold for $2400 after it was professionally redone. It was sold as a "restoration", and appropriately marked as such to the buyer.

If your Late "S" is a re-blue/restoration - please post some pics, and I'll try to help out, OK???

Best to you!
