What is the value today of a wiper for a Model 1888 Ram Rod Bayonet Rifle?

Jeffd, An original will be in the area of 80-90 dollars. Reproduction is currently 18.00 as per their on-line catalog. Hope this helps.

I've seen the complete set sell for 150.00.
I have purchased those sets from Al Frasca, before he retired, for 100.00.
I've gotten lucky numerous times on S&S and purchased them for 50.00.
A few years ago I purchased a really nice M88 Stock for 80.00 and to my surprise there was a 1879 tool and wiper in the compartment
