I would think $750 to 1000 to be a more realistic price to sell this gun. The market for doubles seems to be in the doldrums now, and this maker is a hard sell in any market as it is not well known as a quality maker, whatever the quality of this particular gun. Most of the Pieper production was marketed as middle market quality. Most of the ones I have seen were "mass produced" in an era when that was not necessarily a good thing. It is not a Janssen, Bury or even a Defourney, or one of the other high quality Belgian makers.
