From what is left of us here, YOU and a couple of others are pretty much the expert on these.
For what my opinion is worth I agree with Merc though. Is it worth it to you? Finding one 100% to your liking and completely unaltered may fetch more money than you are willing to spend so you would end up doing without. Over time some guns are becoming so scrace that a few blemishes are accepted more so such as the re-import markings on a GI M1 carbine or the mum being ground off of a Jap Arisaka.
Collector value is diminished of course but if you're not buying it to turn a profit then what the heck. You said it was interesting to you.
Here is a listing on GB. The asking price really means nothing, it's the completed/sold items that tell you the story on the $ worth but I don't see that option here any longer. Guess they don't offer it or they moved it.
Anyway, obviously these guns are worth more, maybe not this much but I pasted it here for pics and the little story.
