[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 1911 value

Posted: 4/29/2010 5:18:52 PM EDT

I understand this is impossible without pics or knowing the condition but assuming middle of the road condition, what would be the value of a navy marked 1911 from 1915?
A guy that comes into work all the time was telling me about it the other day and claims only like 1000 navy marked guns were made.
I'm just curious.
thanks

In overall production there were many more than 1000 made. Coolgunsite.com only shows 500 made in 1915 though. Its tough to find one for under $2000. Ive seen some real beaters go for over that on gunbroker.

Value depends on condition and if parts have been replaced

Especially check the barrel. I have seen numerous one that were as smooth as straws.
Purchasing the "correct" barrel to replace it is going to be very expensive.
