Model 18-1 Nickel. Realistic value? Additional photos added.
Seen this in a LGS. I thought the asking price was astronomical. I came home, pulled out the other good book and find that an excellent Model 18 value at $750.00. 18-1 version worth a premium 25-50%. Nickel finish not cataloged, but produced, 75% premium.
Now I have never been a mathmagician, but with positive rounding up, I am at $1500-$2000 for an excellent example. The book is several years old, so lets add 30% for inflation. I still only come up with $2600. What should a buyer realisticly expect to pay for such an example?
I am sorry for the quality, but here is a poor photo taken through the glass.
