    Thanks for that.
    Saw one for sale a little while ago on here? for £275 but not sure what it actually sold for, and of course this is LH which does narrow the market.

    Normally around 240-270 good condition wth new seals boxed.

    But maybe a bit less with a left hand grip as a buyer would have to think of resale value

    There should be a tiny date stamp on the side of the cyclindet right at the back.
    (If it has a rotating plastic shroud on the back it’s under that)

    Cheers,
    Matt.

    It also depends if it is the mark 1 or the mark 2.

    The mark 1 can be easily identified as it has the eccentric cam that can be rotated to give the best fit under the thumb web part of the hand.

    The later models only had a simple tube here but also had a barrel weight that was held onto the underside of the plastic cocking sleeve by two self tapping screws!

    The rotating plastic collar that is used to make cocking the pistol more comfortable is prone to break - and these are no longer available as a replacement part!!

    Model 10 and 6M pistols that have this plastic part that is either damaged or broken would now be more (very) difficult to sell at any price so this needs to be checked carefully before any accurate valuation can be given.

    Thanks for the info Matt, it does have the plastic rotating shroud but not sure how that will come off (and I would probably never get it back together )
    At least I now have a better idea of its worth
    Thanks

    If you remove the rear sight you can rotate the collar till you can read the date,
    Not necessary for selling by purposes though

    If it is a mark 1 it will not have the piece of half pipe behind the rear sight it will have a machined alloy eccentric cam.

    The date stamp on mine were along the side of the cylinder on the left hand side infront of the eccentric cam (or piece of tube if it is a mark 2).

    I think he said it was plastic.
