I have a chance to bid on this gun at a local auction. Near as I can figure (from info at this website: http://www.coolgunsite.com), it is all correct except for the mag which looks like WWII (CL). Anyone have a guess as to value?   |

is the barrel correct? is the front sight original and just painted red? is it truly a WWI long trigger? assuming everything is correct, hasnt been refinished, and the rollmarks look better in person than the photos, i'd say about 1200 +\- if it has been buffed and refinished then i'd say about 600 +/- |

Quoted: is the barrel correct? yes (vertical PH) is the front sight original and just painted red? just paint is it truly a WWI long trigger? how do I tell that? assuming everything is correct, hasnt been refinished, and the rollmarks look better in person than the photos, i'd say about 1200 +\- if it has been buffed and refinished then i'd say about 600 +/- all the roll marks look good except the horsey is light, even the 'No' and serial # look before/after finishing. |

Quoted: the only reason i mentioned the trigger was because there seems to be an awful lot of travel when it got zip tied back eta: i dont know what this means even the 'No' and serial # look before/after finishing. According to coolguns.com, the 'No123456' is stamped before the finish is applied and the actual serial# No123456 is applied after the finish. |
