Title: Value of "Swiss" Commercial HSc
Post by: Like_Old_Guns on May 26, 2017, 08:30:02 PM
I may have an opportunity to acquire a commercial HSc that fits the description of a "Swiss" variant as described in the Burnham / Theodore book (page 38).  It does have the correct finger extension magazine, but no spare or no presentation box.  SN looks to be in the correct range, and finish matches the description.  I know determining a value is impossible without inspection, but I'm looking for a value relative to a equivalent condition and vintage commercial HSc.  Is it 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, etc.  Thanks, trying to zero in on a fair offer.

No formula here.  A Wartime Commercial HSc in 95% or better condition would be valued at $600 (95% Finish) to $700 (98% Finish).  The Finger Extension (FE) Magazine would add another $150 to $350 (discounted for a standard Magazine supplied with the HSc).  Hope that helps with your decision.
