Dear Richard (and worldwide Nikon F experts)
P.S. Guess that history/collecting/using would be a better forum for this topic... any ways to move it by myself, dear Fred? Thanks!

Authenticity: Impossible to say without having the camera in my hands. I apologize, but I know some hidden indicators which I don't want to publish - I
don't want the fake proucers to know them. Since now they were not capable to get perfect fakes and I wish that this remains this way.
Value: it is defined by the price that a potential buyer is willing to pay (a nd the seller is willing to sell). If I would be the potential buyer the price would differ from what you would be willing to pay. Just this: I have hardly any item in my collection for which I have paid more than 500 bucks. |

Thank you, Richard. You're a lucky guy: My "collectors" items cost me an average of (some) $1,500 bucks |

Usually you do not have to open a camera to tell if it has been tampered with 95% of the time I can tell just by looking the camera over. But only about 1/2 the time I can tell from photos, and I can never be absolutely sure. |

Thank you Fred. As per my personal experience, and looking at it carefully, I'm that 95% it's original and unmolested. She looks new all the way.
Regards. Jose.

. Please contact me if, by any chances, you can share some of your tips with me.
I would hate to open a camera which looks absolutely original, new and perfect, even if it were in need of a CLA after 35 years. All the best. Jose.
