Lot #163 of the recent Gavin Gardiner auction is a good sample of gun built to Dig Hadoke's Theory. The gun is a BV1-OQ1 gun with replaced barrels and a replaced stock. CC7 is "Shootable but needs expensive repairs or restored with stock and barrels replaced." My charts show a BV1-OQ1-CC7 = $6196. The gun hammered at 8,000 BPS; 1.4 exchange rate makes it $11,200 and 30% buyers premium plus shipping makes it $14,800. It takes CC5 (Minor repairs needed or proper restoration accomplished - OE barrels and stock) to CC4 (heavy use but no abuse) to make that much money.

RM -- I find it a bit distressing that your formulae do not include a factor for 'magic'. when I pick up a gun and discover the wonderful handling and fit that lights me up. THAT is where the value is determined. For me at least.
