I have one of those that I bought in LN condition with box and all papers. It was from a collector's large collection that was being sold off. It had not been fired since it left the factory. Frankly, I don't know what I paid for it but it wasn't $200! They are rarely seen and that was the first one I saw. I am 54 and have been looking at guns many, many years. It is one of my favorite .38's also. Maybe something like that would go for a couple of hundred somewhere but not around here! I say if you want it, buy it. If you want to chop it up, get a beater M10...
