I better clarify....I have never seen an AWA backed E222 for sale because this is the only one known. As for E222's David Levin won 4 off of ebay, and paid a pretty strong price for them, about 3-4 years ago. I think Dan S got a few of those eventually. There was one of these E222/AWH's on ebay about 5 yrs ago and it didn't meet the $1200 opening bid...and I bought it after the auction closed. I think one would be in the 4k-5k range if it came up in auction today. The value still hasn't caught up to the rarity because these are so rare not many folks really collect them....It's hard to see some common caramels, even in a 7-8 holder, go for more than these....but it's the demand side doing the valuation...imo...
ps....and here is an M117 I still own that David is mentioning....they are super rare too...
