So many were made and are in current circulation that the term "rarity" does not apply. Anyone who is a true collector knows this. Those fooled by the WV logo may not. Any one who bids over $130 for this is either ill-informed or overly emotional.
I also have a Douglas "West Vest". As attached to it as I am emotionally, I know it doesn't protect as well as later models and use as a back up only.
