    What a collector would be willing to pay the bore at 7/10 is obviously worn a tad but it depends on how well its been looked after some places I looked at quoted 4 figures then again like I said what ever a person is willing to pay along with their desire to have one not forgetting only 1000 of them were made it would have to be a collector not a shooter

    I'd pay low four figures for a good unmolested one.

    IMHO too much, but I suppose it is a buyers market!
