This is probably more applicable to restored guns than very high original condition guns. There are only a limited (and diminishing) number of original condition guns while the number of restored guns increases every year... month... week...
We see asking prices on very nicely restored guns but when they sell we are rarely privy to the sell price... while when a 'benchmark' gun changes hands we never even know about it sometimes for years - and the price is subject to conjecture because that is information that is rarely ever shared.
