We don't do valuations, period. Lens type yes, history yes.
It also always depends on condition, which can't be judged from a single photo.
This is a reproduction version of this lens that was made a very long time after the original lens was sold.

You've already listed it on Ebay, so you'll know soon. Let it run its course, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Just out of curiousiry, did you get many "Will you sell it now" offers?

Why is it that people are lazy and do not want to do their homework. They join the forum and ask these questions??

It will bring what the market thinks it is worth.

Thinking is hard work.

jacsanford, In my workshop, appraisals are $100.00 plus 1.5% of the value of the instrument, written and signed, on my letterhead. You should be offering payment to the very experienced people your asking to work for you.... they deserve your respect. Wm. Kramer-Harrison, Stringed Instruments.

I wonder if posts like this should be considered advertising messages.
