Having proviuded such little info you apparently want a WAG, so here goes.
Excellent condition with all numbers matching including magazine, no surprises or zits, maybe $1600. Some bluing wear, mismatched mag, but original finish, maybe $1100-$1200. Mismatched numbers on the gun, refinished, etc, maybe $600-$800.
But then again we have desperately little to work with here.

spc3580 · 09-30-2012, 01:37 PM

That "not English make" indicates it was once imported into the UK. Goes it have pressure proofs on the barrel measured in "Tonnes"?

They say you could almost walk from Calais to Dover on the piles of contraband German handguns/rifles tossed overboard by returning Tommies...
