You could be right about the $3,000 mark up here in Canada. I don’t feel very competent about estimating higher condition ’73 values. I’ve bought and sold several well used examples around the $1,300 to $2,000 mark, but those had only patina on them, with little or no blue. This one still has quite a bit of blueing …. maybe 70%.

Hopefully, someone more knowledgable gives their opinion as to value.
