Your answer is very easy. Each and every one (HMSS 1) of those imported into the United States was handled by one man,

As a .40, yours may be HMSS 2 and an Interarms import, no mattter, call Earl. Just know if it is HMSS 2, it is worth far less. Earl is, perhaps, the only person to not only give you the present value but, if you wish, know exactly who would want one, or who would want to sell one. To see his shop is a wonderful experience. He currently has four WA2000's there, one NIB. Enjoy the experience and please come back to tell us what he told you. Grab a copy of the book he and Brigit co-wrote on all things Walther, get him to sign it.
P.S. here is an even rarer variant. I would say whether the JB or the TA, they have one the best SA trigger, and one of the worst DA trigger (smooth but designed by a apprehensive lawyer). But getting to SA is a flash. Either, one the most accurate out of the box in the world. Because of the slide and the great chamber, if your Neilson can go on its ears, you can lock the slide out in 2 seconds. Shames my Glock and I really like my Glock.
Good luck.
