Nikon FM Gold Dummy
The Nikon FM Gold Dummy is a non-functional display version of the FM, a 35mm manual-focus SLR. Dummies of this kind were produced for shop-window display rather than photographic use, and the gold-finished variant is a collector-oriented presentation piece.
With only a single recorded UK auction result, the price evidence is thin: one example sold at hammer for £1,600 in 2014, which is the only data point available as of today. As a wholesale saleroom result rather than a retail figure, this gives a rough indication of value but should not be read as a reliable market median given how rarely these dummies appear.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Nikon FM Gold Dummy worth today?
The only recorded UK auction sale shows one selling for £1,600 at hammer, so its value is best estimated around that figure, though scarcity makes pricing volatile.
How much does a Nikon FM Gold Dummy sell for at auction?
Available evidence shows a single hammer price of £1,600, which is the only confirmed sale in the dataset and the clearest reference for what the model sells for.
Is the Nikon FM Gold Dummy a working camera?
No. It is a display dummy, so it cannot expose film, and its price reflects collector and display interest rather than photographic utility.
