404 I would say, at least if it's a GET/HEAD.

Errors is not normally subject to If-* conditions. If-* conditions only
applies when the server actually could generate a successful response if
the condition was not there.

For PUT 412 is probably more appropriate there as it's the condition
which prevented the method from being executed, not the fact that the
resource no longer exists.
