So I was at a local gunshop looking at 22LRs and they had something I've never seen before. The Walther Model 1 .22LR self-loading bolt action. The idea is that it acts like a semi by using blowback, but you can lock the bolt closed by rotating a bolt knob. I had never seen such a beast before and was intrigued.

The internet turns up surprisingly little information pertaining to this model, with the exception of an exploded parts diagram linked here: http://www.emilitarymanuals.com/images/exgundialg/Walther model 1.jpg
Nowhere can I find one for sale to get an idea of what the market for these things looks like

I seem to remember them asking around $300 for it and would like to know if thats anywhere near what the going rate is for these fun little rifles. The example I looked at appeared to be in good to excellent condition.
 
Last year's Blue Book:

Model 1 Autoloading; 20.5" bbl.; 100%=$695, 98%=$600, 95%=$500, 90%=$400.

Model 2 - similar to Model 1; 24.5" bbl.; $775, $625, etc.

Googling the Model 1 is a pain. The original Model 1 Walther...
