I have been scouring the internet for a few weeks now and still can't find any additional info on this pistol. Curious what you think the value of this would be if I were to ever part with it.
That's a good question.
A wealthy collector or a firearms museum would pay more for it than a casual shooter.
And the gun definitely represents a considerable amount of time and financial investment in its building and design, especially if one were to include the cost of the patent filing.
However, it may not be the only prototype.
And some may consider the lock to be over-built, that is, it's a more complicated design than necessary.
And then there's the question of exactly how well does this particular lock function, which is an unknown since there isn't any performance history or reviews to rely on.
If the gun were included as part of a national live internet gun auction, the bidding range could vary greatly depending on the many types of characters who could be bidding on it.
I think that the potential winning auction bid price could be around $700 - $900.
If there were little collector interest then it could sell for less, and if there was more than one interested collector then it could possibly go for more.
If casual shooters were interested in trying to pick up a bargain, then they may not bid over $500 - $600 on it.
If a gun design engineer were enamored with it, then perhaps he would pay more.
It doesn't seem like it's a commercially viable design, but is more of a curio.
I'm not sure who it would appeal to that would be willing to pay $1000 - $1200 for it unless money wasn't much of an object to them.
