I've bought several over the last few years. Decent with a few issues were around $300.00. Very good condition was around $400.00. I saw a 1941 Longbrach that was in decent shape but had later style bands sell for $450.00. Since the 41 LB was made in low numbers it attracts a better price. I think 699.00 is high for a Mark 1 or Mark 1*. The mummy wrapped or like new Mark 2s will bring that money though.
