    Sounds like an Omega to me. MSR was $849.

    Correction: The Omega was a Peters Stahl design using the Springfield 1911-A1 for Springfield. The Linkless was Springfield's attempt at making their own, and from what I have read was told to stop due to some infringement on Patents. Have not been able to find anything price wise though.

    I have the 2006 edition of the Blue Book (Fjestad). It shows that 10mm model as having a MSRP of $640. Shows used values as follows:

    100% cond... $525
    98% cond.... $410
    95% cond.... $355
    90% cond.... $315

    Considering this volume of the BB is 5+ years old.... I can safely say that you could add 20% to those figures, for fair market value. I will also add that on some makes and models of firearms..... BB is known to occassionally state fair market values that are slightly low, as compared to what the gun may actually be selling for in places like Gun Broker, etc.

    So, to simplify, if the gun you're looking at is in 90% condition..... $375-$409 would not be exceptionally high, in most parts of the U.S.

    I think an auction site may be the way to go. Let the market set he value.
    $400.00 would be low I believe but that's just my opinion :)

    Thanks for taking the time to look it up
