What is one of these worth?  My LGS has one for $550.  It was a police officers carry gun.  It does have some holster wear.  As far as I can tell it is a low serial number.  I don;t know much about the earlier Glock's, so any info would be appreciated.  I am attaching a picture.

Gen 1's in that condition are hard to find.  When you do find them they carry a nice price tag.  550 is not unreasonable cost for a gen 1 it will not sit long.

This is what I was thinking, but like I said, I don;t know much about early Glock's.  Is there a way to check the serial number to see when it was produced?

Just google search Glock serial number and tons of sites have approximate born dates.

DK - G-17 - October 1988 - 1st Gen.

So, from my little bit of research, it's a pretty early one.  Any idea on value?

I bet it will not last long.

It's a pretty small shop and they don't get a lot of traffic....If it is worth it, I may pick it up.

If you have cash offer $500 see if the seller bites and if not see where he will meet you on price.

Like said before these usually do not last long for people that know what it is.  I found a G17.2 over the holidays for 399 and went back to the GS and bought it because I knew it was too good of a deal to pass up.

$550 if you pay that you will not walk away ripped off.

I bought one for $445 shipped/transferred about a month ago, in slightly worse shape than that one, and a few months older.

I personally wouldn't go $550 on that one, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone did.

The store will sell it for that. Someone will pay it. Personally I would not. But there are better deals out there to be had. Offer them less and see what happens.

Sold mine for I think $350-$375 a couple years ago and mine was a one owner gun.
After seeing the Gen4s, I would never have a desire to own another Gen 1.

The date code on the barrel if I'm reading it right is CTT.  October 1988. The picture is a bit fuzzy when I blow it up.

The pins look tight which is a good sign.  Have you racked the slide, how does that feel?  Will they let you remove the slide to inspect?
I do not collect guns, that is why I do not value it that highly, and IMHO the GEN 3s and 4s are much better guns as TargetBlaster has already said....

For a gen 1 it's actually kind of a late one.   It wasn't too long before they started making the gen 2 guns.

I'll have to look for sure but I think that's the same prefix mine has.

If you collect Glocks and have several others and want a Gen 1, get it. If you are looking for something to shoot....get a Gen 3 or 4.

This would be my opinion.  It would be nice to collect them and have that, but I don't.

I bet some tool buys it and doesn't even realize what is special about it.
