If it is truly NIB, never fired outside of the factory, I would think that maximum collector value would come from leaving it truly NIB, including GSR from the test fire and factory lube, as-is. Once it has been cleaned and re-lubed, who is to say it was not taken to the range and fired? Just my thoughts.
How much collector value is in a Model 3913? It seems to me that the greater value is in the eyes of those who wish they had one to use as a CCW pistol.
