  Believe it would be Model 1862, rather than 1865. Very rare at this late date. After the Prussians adopted the single shot Mauser in 1871. They dumped all the early Needle gun models.
  
  If in 80% and original? My WAG at least couple of thousand maybe more? To bad about the butt plate. But a original Needle gun is so rare, it wouldn't faze a collector.
