my LGS are a little clueless when it comes to gun values so I have never seen a 1898 for less than $1000 but all of them have been drilled, tapped, cut down and otherwise mutilated.

for $200 I would pass as unless they have no clue what it actually is, is heavily modified and no longer has much collectors value.
