    Value is based on demand, little demand for Mateba's, IMHO. Reason nobody is importing them any more.

    Since it is a used pistol, with little buyer demand. I would price it out, at the wholesale price, i.e. new selling price -30 percent, plus or minus 5 percent.

    Our local Cal Ranch store, had 2/3? of them in stock couple years ago. Don't remember the exact model(s), but they came in different barrel lengths. Kind of surprised me? Not exactly the type of handguns, you expect to see at Cal Ranch.

    To make a long story short, they were pricy. But nowhere near the $3000, you got for yours. Which model did you have?

    Well, this one went for (gulp) $4,950 here on GB, with a 4" barrel:

    With a few thousand sold, they aren't that rare. But, it's a very interesting & unique gun. I suspect that most are owned by either collectors or investors, & that most are mint or close to it. The fact that they are no longer being imported may have actually increased the value.

    It's difficult to say how much one with 95% finish would go for, but most collectors & investors wouldn't want it. But, there are still a lot of folks who would like to shoot something that is really unusual.

    I don't remember which one it was. It had a 6" bbl.

    thanks
    mine is a .357 with a 6.5" barrel,
    maybe 50 rounds thru it and anally cleaned every time out.
    Can't find the box [dumb on my part] but probably as close to new as possible.
