The real world prices I've seen for the couple of Zanders I've seen locally doesn't support the SCSW estimate. They seem to go for about what a regular 457 goes for.
To see anything close to that price, I think it would have to be ANIB with everything from the factory.
Right after the first of the year I bought a nice 457 and box with two magazines for $349.00. I was out of town the day it showed up on the FFLs website and wasted no time in calling and putting a hold on it over the weekend.
That was less than a month after missing out on a 457 with three magazines from the same shop. There must have been a long line of regretful non buyers for that gun because the owner called and left a voice mail asking if I was really going to be because he had several interested parties.
I was and wasted no time getting up to the shop when it opened in Tuesday.
For what a 457 is, I considered that a bargain price. I think of it as either an alloy framed version of the 4516 or maybe a non rail version of the 4513TSW. Great guns.

The Standard Catalog of S&W 4th Edition say's 2 times value for Zanders.
Mine would be shipped to the new owners FFL so fast I'd make Buds look slow.
