Hi Larry,
Maybe best to check auction results which would be at the high value end of the spectrum. Geographically the price will vary. US probably not as high as say Australia/New Zealand.

depends to a great extent on what dunstall parts are on the bike. fairing, tank, clip-ons, seat and rearsets are common, full exhaust, dual front disks and main stand are rare. has it had the 810 engine treatment...
do an internet search , there are vintage website which think they are unobtanium, and the asking prices reflect it, however one would have to do some digging to verify that the ads are not scams,
ie: https://www.smartcycleguide.com/motorcycles-for-sale?k=norton+dunstall&page=1&per-page=15
i'm only sharing the page i just saw today while trying to locate a decent alloy tank to replace my dunstall fiberglas tank
have fun

Value depends greatly on whether it can be proven to be a Dunstall "factory" build, or a Commando with some Dunstall bits hanging off it. If it is in the second category, then it is probably not worth much more than a regular Commando. Could even be worth less.

That is a Dunstall-EQUIPPED Norton Commando, NOT a "Dunstall".
The difference is everything.

what that really points out is that "Dunstall" can be many things, sadly because Paul Dunstall covered so many bases, i think any bitsa bike could be a dunstall, but as GrandPaul only the rarest is worth more than a well done stock commando...
back in 1976 I called it my 850 dunstall, but it isn't a "dunstall" since i built it, not Paul Dunstall... but what a ride.

Only a genuine Dunstall will have the make/mfr listed as "Dunstall", not Norton, on the title.
If it says "Norton", it's not a Dunstall.
It MIGHT have been a Norton, modified by Dunstall, though; so we can definitely split hairs to a finer degree...

Looks like it has an early dunstall tank fitted, dunstall front mudguard/seat unit and silencers, looks like the rotary timed cam breather is joined the the timing cover and tee'd off to somewhere, carbon HT leads and S type side panels plus k&n air filter ,not quite a dunstall but not a bad bike to re build , prices are silly these days ,does the bike run?
