Boy did I make a big mistake when I assigned a value to this one.
I just went back and enlarged all of the pictures and saw lots of things I hadn't seen before and I edited value right out of my post.
I was lusting over the configuration rather than paying closer attention to the badly worn engraving, checkering worn smooth and poorly re-checkered just to name two.
I bow to those who suggested about $3k though even that might be high.
Apologies to all.
