  Have you seen anything on the Corsair? It's a modification of the model 52. Several options in sights, compensators, grips, target weights. The D-3 has a 8.25" barrel.
  Value 13 years ago was $100 in average condition. No mention of options at this price.

  According to my references your pistol is the target version of the model 52. Some of the ones with the shorter barrels were sold under the name "Corsair". They were identified by the letter "D" followed by a number, the number denoted the barrel length. The pistol you have appears to be a "D-3". The value of your pistol would hinge on collector demand and the condition of pistol i.e. is the pistol in excellent original condition? Has it been altered in any way since it left the Unique factory? etc. I believe that the Unique Arms Company of Hendaye France is now out of business. This might also effect the value of your pistol?
