[QUOTE="AncientJoe, post: 8258934, member: 44357"]The catalog isn't out yet but the printed estimate will be 750K CHF; the expectation is that it might sell for considerably more and I don't think that $2M will be unreasonable. It last sold for 230K CHF hammer in 2008 (prior to that, 120K CHF in 2004) and has since been on display for a number of years in the British Museum and comes with a published pedigree to the Biaggi collection. It's a highly desirable example despite (and/or perhaps [I]because of[/I]) the hole. It's a rare case where the damage might add value due to the story it evokes.[/QUOTE]
