MB Tire pressure gauge: how much to pay?

How much should I pay for a engraved MB tire pressure gauge?
It`s the one in a blue box as seen in the tool roll.

A tire gauge was part of the Auxiliary Tool Kit which also had a special oiler and more. The Gauge was not part of the standard tool kit for Pagodas although I believe a tire gauge was included in the 190 tool kit.

The Pagoda parts booklet has an illustration of the tool kit and content. No tire gauge is shown.

MB tire gauges come up from time to time on eBay, mostly the 190 or similar models. They seem to go for maybe $200 more or less.

Thank you for your reply!
 After looking at some pictures of different gauges I see that one has a scale that goes from 0,5-4 bar ( labeled as a gullwing gauge, MESSKO-HAUSER, on ebay) and another one has a scale from 0,5-3 bar ( from unknown car). Do anybody know what is correct for the pagoda? They look totally alike apart from
 the scale.
