To find such a fine gun in that condition is a dream. It is a nightmare for me, as I will not be the owner.
I have to agree with Rocketman that 8K to 10K is a realistic asking. As a private sale, the 8K would be fair to both parties. I think I would do what any gentleman would do and take along a 25 year old Macallum Single Malt to show that the new home of this treasure is owned my a man of good taste.:}
Best,
