james haven · 04-23-2015, 07:30 PM

what would be a fair price to pay for one without a matching number or year. the gun is all matching with that exception.i have only seen pictures. please give me prises for both 95% and 80%.
thank you

I would say the blue book is closer - provided that it is matching and is correct (not faked, reblued or wrong parts)

but, what does this mean?

Quote:

without a matching number or year

The year is the 'K'

matching magazine? Mismatched?

If mismatched then about 1/2 of what Aaron's price says IMHO

Hi James,
I specialize in collection K dates.
They are quite complicated.
Your chances of it being factory original are probably 1 in 4 based on my experience.
I would suggest you get an inspection period long enough to have Bob Simpson approve it.
Good luck.
