Determining Value - Kies Engraved D coverage

[swoobie]

I've searched and read for a week or two now, but am having trouble ascertaining value on a USFA SA that I purchased a while back.

It's unturned.  .45 colt 5.5', case colored frame and FULLY engraved, other than the blade and the hammer.  Signed by Dennis Kies in box with scrimshawed grips (believe they are tru-ivory) installed, plus hard rubber grips.

Any ballpark ideas on value?  Will try to take pictures and post later...

Normally when Dennis would do a Master D (full coverage) he would do the front sight and the hammer.  Retail on a Master D (engraving only) was $5045.  If it's an Armory D, retail was $1650 again for the engraving only.   Master work had more detail, more background work, tighter scroll work etc.
