Thanks. The instruction manual is what I was really after, the M-1 is a later
production model and in only average condition.

Prices for M-1's are all over the place. As with any collectible item, it's
only worth what people are willing to pay at that time. I've seen M-1 bodies
sell for as little as $250 and as high as $1800! The $400-$500 range is
about average, but with a little patience and some bargain hunting one can
be had for lower. The M-1's aren't as rare as some people will have you
believe.
