TYPE 38 CARBINE REASONABLE PRICE?

[Singer B]

What do you all think a reasonable retail price would be for a Type 38 carbine... I think it is a Series 4 Nagoya, serial number matching bayonet lug but not matching the bolt, no apparent rust except for a little on the cleaning rod, metal looks very good, stock looks very good, bore has a bit of frosting but the rifling is good, has a dust cover but the mum is ground off. A nice looking rifle but I want to make a reasonable offer. Thanks in advance!

More pictures would be a big help since there are some real experts on here who can tell you things such as is the stock sanded, does it have the correct barrel bands and sights, etc. Is the stock cut down or sporterized? You will vet some great advice and maybe save some money by posting some more pictures. Hope that helps!

Six years ago I paid $350 for a 1912 carbine, scrubbed. Before it arrived I saw one at my LGS that was nicer, for $250. I him hawed for a day and went back for it but it was gone. Mine was $pendy because of it's age. PAX
