I have a CHERRY 17-2 that dates to 1962. It has the 1962 German ULM proof marks. A local friend of mine wants to buy it, I'm trying to price it right for both of us. The gun has 3-T's and target stocks on it. Do the proof marks add/detract/no impact on value? What's it worth......??
I always prefer foreign proofed guns, but I don't place a premium on them. I think I am the anomoly though, most probably prefer them not be there. At the end if the day I doubt it adds value or detract.
No impact on pricing, at least in most cases, as far as I'm concerned. The German stamps are usually not very obtrusive. Some of the British ones post WWII with stamps between every cylinder chamber and sometimes on the barrel and frame can be irritating.
