That's a tough one to call. Only 3,500 of the no-dash 52's were supposed to have been made, between 1961 and 1963.

The grade of 99.9% seems optimistic-- what is keeping it from 100% ?

Price is difficult to nail down as the no-dash is rarely found in such high grade. Ends up being precious few data points to support a real market value.

I could see $2,000 being a real-world number if it's actually THAT high in grade, and the number would fall with each and every shot if someone wished to shoot and enjoy the pistol.

Certainly sounds like an amazing find.
