Recent (within last 3-4 years) auctions of that print are selling below $5,000, on LiveAuctioneers, Invaluable and other online auction sites. If you can send me the link to the sale you reference I'm happy to reconsider my valuation.

I would also ad, that this sellers version had a crease in it. Mine is in practically mint condition.
In fact, this sellers version also has nicks and dents around the corners as well.
You'll notice that the estimate on the one that Morphy Auctions sold for $9500 had an estimate of $4,000-8,000 and it was part of a dedicated firearms auction. I've raised the value on yours to $5,000-8,000 given yours appears to be in better condition. If you are planning to sell this, I would recommend selling it in a firearms auction (including at Morphy).
I've seen this sold on live auctioneers for 9500.
