Value of OM Bearcat

[rmc25]

The serial number is 20xx. The box is NOT numbered to the gun. The latest edition of RENE lists the first k and the alphabet guns and then lists the other numbers together, breaking out small number, large number, Blackguard. Condition is 97%+. What would the value be? Worth much more than a prefix Bearcat?

I've seen the OM box go for up to 80-90 for a nice one.
The NM box around 50.00.
And yes on being worth more than the prefix guns.

It doesn't happen to be number 2000 even does it?

Is is not 2000 but it is a low 2xxx.

Might be worth a premium to somebody who wants that "year" as a serial number.

Pretty neat to give a grandchild a bearcat with their birth year as a serial number. Or if it is the year somebody was married. Etc.
