Ive got a mint condition 1983 PPK/s with a NIVEL finish. Anyone got any idea what its worth. Or what it might be worth in 10 years?

I'd say check the auction sites to see what similar weapons are going for right now but these are only worth what you are willing to sell it for and someone is willing to pay for it.

In 10 years who knows but one would expect the price to go up by some factor as fewer become available.

I know they are lovely weapons. Mine will not get sold(I do not believe mine has the Nivel finish).

....and of course in 10 years today's money is going to worth less too,because of inflation.

Luckily money is fiat.
The other oldfart,& this oldfart knows that very well.
Come to think of it,we aren't old,but classics.

That was what I was led to believe but I'm always willing to be educated.

Very nice examples, and a great side-by-side comparison - thank you very much, rsnsatx. Lighting of the OP’s pistol makes it hard for me to tell, but it looked more silvery than the nickel finish. A lot of people think the Durgarde is stainless, although the last one I bought was advertised as Nivel (I knew it was Durgarde and snapped it up).
