Important whether it was "Made in Belgium" or "Made in Belgium, assembled in Portugal".

If it's a two-tone Practical version I don't think those were imported until the early 90's. HP's are easy to look up mfg date via the serial number codes. As far as value look at completed auction prices on Gunbroker. For something like that unless he wants to give it away Gunbrokers probably the best bet.

When looking at g.b. look at current prices. Up until 6-9 months ago they were through the roof four about a year.

Yeah, people went a little nuts after they got discontinued but it has gone back to where they were. Even now if you look on GB there are a bunch of people with HPs up for sale with high prices but no bids and they keep relisting them over and over.

Current prices won't tell you what they are selling for only what someone wishes they can get.

I would feel comfortable paying $900-$1000

Sold auctions was implied. My bad. But you're absolutely right. There are some very optimistic sellers on g.b
