Do you know the history behind the pistol?They are not typically worth as much as people think unless there is something special about that particular (aside from the fact it was designed but the man that sits to the right of Jesus) pistol.
$500-$700 would be my guess. I want to reiterate guess |

If the barrel is correct for it, and most of the other parts are correct to the gun it is easily north of $1K. I would guesstimate closer to $1500+ with correct barrel of course |

The finish on that actually looks really good, if the inside is as good as the outside and it hasn't been refinished it could easily go just south of $2k. Unless my monitor/eyes or those photos are deceiving me. |

Doesn't look like it's been refinished due to how the frame was polished out, the grain will change around the trigger guard area. |

Serial is from 1917.
It looks nice but the pitting hurts value a bit. I would say if everything is correct it would be in the $1500 range. The WW2 guns seem to be a bit more collectible and thus demand the higher prices even though these early guns probably served in the war as well. |

Hell I would buy every one I could find at those prices even with incorrect parts. |

Very nice. I am nowhere near an expert, but from what I can tell from the pics, it looks like an original pistol in quite good condition for the age. To get top dollar, collectors will want to see good photos of all the details--top, rear and underside of the slide, the checkering on the trigger, hammer, slide stop, safety, every single stamp and rollmark...and if you have a good set of hollow-ground screwdrivers, maybe carefully remove the grips and show what's under them, too. For collectors. originality is #1, and condition is a close #2. |
