I have no idea about the P7's value. I've heard that any functioning artie shooter is worth at least $1,000. I paid a little more for mine at an RIAC auction, and it's all matching but has the stock lug ground off. If the stock board is collectible, maybe even numbered to the gun's frame, that would be a plus, but value is limited by the mismatch.

The shiny small parts you're seeing may look that way in pics because they were heat treated at the factory to a "straw" color, which helps to prevent rust. But they still could be buffed shiny by holster wear--good pics help.

Without photo's an honest or accurate assesment is impossible.

Generaly any shootable mismatched but intact artillery should be worth $1000-$1200. But we REALLY need to see photos to be of any help. Check GunBroker to see what the P7's are bringing.

If the $300 was going the other way it would almost, but not quite, be a good deal.
