    Although it's a low production revolver, it would have to be in factory original, very good+, to excellent condition to have any collector value. My 2?.

    I guess I needed more info in there, it's a tube fed semiauto rifle.

    That sounds high for one in only fair condition.

    From the BB on Gun Values



    COURIER
    - similar to Colteer semi-auto, except pistol-grip stock and enlarged forearm. Mfg. 1970-mid '70s.

    Grading 100% 98% 95% 90% 80% 70% 60%
    $275 $215 $175 $140 $110 $95 $80

    Subtract 5% if wood and finish are scratched in front of the barrel/forearm band.
    Subtract 5-10% if w/o the front sight hood.
    This model has a soft aluminum alloy painted receiver which was very easily scratched. It is quite common to find these guns in 80 to 85% condition with very little market interest. It is becoming common place to find these guns with the receiver repainted. There is a limited market interest in guns that are 98% condition and better. On the models that have the band around the barrel and forearm, it is common to see the wood and finish scratched where the band has been slid forward.

    If you're collecting, the condition is a big factor. If you want a shooter, you can find several models at a lower price. I have a Colteer Stagecoach model that is very accurate and an excellent little 22 but it is too valuable to really use that much.
