WTK value of a WW1 red 9 broom handle with accessories

[jsz]

I am going to look a red 9 tomorrow and wonder if anyone can add some value thoughts. The broom is in 90k serial number, matching including stock. It also has the harness and cleaning rod with the rig. Based on the less then stellar photos attached and description above any thoughts on what would be on a fair purchase price for both the seller and buyer?
Thanks, jeff

Looks very nice and if you could get it for 4k that would be a great deal.. High retail is now more like 6k Id say I haven't seen one that nice in many years..

Matching numbers and original finish drives it. From the two photos, appears to be original finish but impossible to tell.
Look for harness date and maker stamp but it too appears to be correct.
If so, this rig will sell for north of $4,000 and maybe closer to $6000.
Just my 2 cents, not an expert but have an example here, YMMV

added photos makes it 100% legit to me.. Very nice. Of course doing the dance its hard to say where you two will meet.. If dealing with a vet or family member its nice to pay up a bit without paying dealer price.. 4k is a fair price for the rig.
