According to Koch and Haugen, there is only one single example of an unopened Liberator in existence. If this is a second one (rather than the one mentioned in the books), its value is CONSIDERABLE. (Easily well into the five figure range)

According to the books by Haugen and Koch, samples were regularly taken off the assembly line, and test fired 50 times with standard .45acp ball. These samples were essentially unusable at the end of the tests. For its intended use, a few of the ten rounds may have been fired to find the point of impact at ten feet or so, then a final single round when it counted.
