Fair Value?

[Doug M.]

It is more likely than not a shooter, not a collector item, and my snap thought was about $800. As for $2000, we used to have an involuntary substance abuse treatment statute here, and this dealer sounds like a candidate. Dear me. It is not just the price that is high.

I'm a newbie when it comes to older smiths and even I know that is an insane ask for that piece. The price isn't just "on the high side".... he is blatantly trying to take advantage of any sucker who enters his shop... sad.

Yeah but this one was owned by Raquel Welch. The guy told me so when he pawned it.
