Anyone know what they are really worth. Marstar is selling one for $700 with no firing pin in VG condition.

I have one where the barrel is pitted and the firing pin has been fixed, but is complete. I even have extra springs.

And yes I have fired it
 
$700 seems high to me, especially one that needs some work, but it is a rare pistol, and if it's in otherwise good shape, maybe that's what Marstar are thinking. I don't know where in Canada you'd find a firing pin, and I don't know if the US will allow them to be exported any more. If you want to buy the piece, maybe you should ask Marstar if they could supply a firing pin. By the way, if you eject a live round in that model (and a couple of other clones), be careful because the firing pin stays forward of the breech, and if the firing pin sticks for any reason, you could have an accidental discharge at an awkward moment.
 
I have one also, pictured below, has birds-eye maple grips that look like factory. Saw one in the US once, for $800.00, not as pretty as mine. The value will be determined by just how much a Walther collector needs to have it.

The maple grips are definitely not factory, but they look very well done, and they are handsome. I suppose if you ever decide to sell it, you could always pick up set of original grips for the purist, but personally I like the maple.
