It's a tough question to answer. Now that these tripods are all in the hands of private individuals. As there is no major vendor where you can just call up and order one, prices are going to keep going up. An M35 on a gun show table has been running around $1200-$1500, from what I've seen at the last KCR and SAR shows. That's in as-is condition. A nicely restored one is going to be higher. Patience is your friend here, and being willing to go to a show like KCR to hunt. Now 1917A1 pods were retailing at $1000-$1200 at OOW for years, then a bit lower when they were selling off the lower grade ones. But they have no more. A vendor who is making his living at this is not going to let one go cheap, as these are an investment in his business. There are customers who will pay $2250-$2500 for a nicely restored one. But bargains turn up, you just have to be in the right place at the right time.
