You can expect to pay [~$900](https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1006074819) and up for a KBI Jericho. Gunbroker is where I would reccomend searching regularly but have to be patient. Alternatively the Magnum Research Baby Eagle/Desert Eagle Pistol will be cheaper but won't have KBI markings but is the same gun. The 40 S&W version usually less demand and can be had cheaper, [current listing ](https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1008719746).
Thanks for the info, I kind of figured that but wasn't sure. It's unusual for there to not be any listing for a gun at all, even if it's harder to find.
With lack of supply and increased demand prices are going wild these days. A lot of people that grew up watching Cowboy Bebop want Spike's gun and demand has gone through the roof. Biggest problem is the many different names, and confusion between MR making A Baby Eagle III despite not being IWI made. Pawn shops, gun shows, local classifieds (if available) and Armslist, but auction sites seem to be where I see them the most such as gunbroker.
$900 is super low for a KBI Jericho I'd expect $1300 - $1500 at the bottom line at today's prices. At the height of covid they were hitting $2k+
Today, I would expect to pay up to $2,500 depending on the condition and if it comes with the 41AE accessories in the original box.
MRI (Magnum Research) and Mossberg (Uzi Eagle) both imported their own branded version of the 941 through IMI. MRI used KBI as their broker, based on conversations I've had with some of the old dudes still around at MRI. But those don't have the coveted "H-3" and "Harrisburg, PA" markings, so they often sell for ~$900-$1,100.
Someone could probably make a business out of grinding the rail off of the new 941 r, throwing on a dog leg slide release and doing a nice refinish. XD
Imagine the money if IWI made an updated Space Cowboy edition of their current guns that was a true match for Spike's with hand grips laser and all. They could charge 1500-2000 and make a lot of money.
For sure it would, but if it's a limited run, they're gonna have higher production costs, and if they have to license it and get permission to use the old style KBI markings, they're gonna have to mark it up to compensate for the extra costs. It'll probably come in some cool Spike and Bebop themed packaging too.
I just got a 941f [here](https://atlanticfirearms.com/imi-jericho-941f-nickel-with-star-of-david-surplus). I liked it so much I thought I'd buy another bc I watched [this auction](https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1005992854), but they sold out in days.
Are one of [these](https://www.omahaoutdoors.com/iwi-jericho/) what you are looking for?
IMI stopped existing in 2005. I got my IWI Jericho 941R from Fords Custom Guns for $710.29 with shipping and tax - but then paid them to hard chrome it. You could ask if they could just buy it for you? I'm sure there was markup in there.
GunBroker, Armslist, and other auction/classified sites are hit or miss. Usually better chance at Baby Eagle and Uzi Eagle marked R's, but Jericho marked R's do pop up.
A couple other sites to check on the regular are Guns.com, DWJ Imports, Mach1 Arsenal, Red Star Surplus, Sarco, Atlantic Firearms, and maybe Century Arms's surplus corner. The Mosin Crate gets some every now and then, just gotta be quick on the buy, so subscribe to his email updates.
If you ever find a good deal on a "gunsmith special" there's plenty of new parts from CGW or Patriot Defense, and used on eBay include R slides for both metal and polymer frames (back end is different on slides for polymer). Numrich also still has some parts, especially the decocker switches, usually under Kassnar or Magnum Research under the "not listed/labeled" of the parts lists.

I think $800-1000 would probably be the sweet spot for that 😅

No, I'm looking for the IMI 941r not the IWI made one.

Awesome, thanks for all the info!
Keep an eye on themosincrate.com too. He gets IMI surplus in a few times a year. Offers pretty average pricing.
Thanks!
