There is a wild variation of prices for those.

This one, seems to have been exported to China at some point, and then
"restored".

Yes, apparently they were popular in China and "restoration" destroys
much of the collector's value.

A typical rebuild, although not one of the better ones, of the horde of
Broomhandles that came from China in the late '80's. There was for a
time a cottage industry of shops rebarreling and rebluing these gems.
They often make fine shooters in either 7.65x25 or 9x19, but no real
collector value. This one looks like it was bead blasted w/o much
polishing before bluing, so one of the lower end pieces.

Still, probably at least $500 or $600 these days, when everything seems
to go for a bit more than expected.
