M1915 Spikes

[Freikorps1919]

I was just curious what the typical price is on an m1915 spike when they do actually show up, because I have seen a few pop up and one was just the spike and no base and it sold for over $150 and then one was the complete spike with the base and rivets and sold for like $200 +ship. I am just curious if this is normal because I don't see a whole lot show up so it is a little harder to figure out the price range on them.
Thank you.

Yes, they do not show up for sale very often, and collectors end up in a bidding war over them on eBay in order to acquire this part.

The price range you have listed is normal, for just the spike by itself, and for a spike with base and split brads. Sometimes they go for even more than this.

Yes $150 plus for the spike only.
There are 2 up for sale now on France's ebay.

Yes to all of the above, that has been my experience as well. The problem with replacing any M15 fitting is the patina of the replacement does not match the originals.
