    1919 Colt BAR Commercial - Need Info

    Recently I came across a 1919 Colt BAR Commercial model that may be for sale. *It is full-auto, blued finish, no compensator, no hand grip, and does not have "Monitor" stamped on it. *It is in 85% condition and the serial # is 1000xxx. *I have had no luck in determining the production numbers and the current approximate value of the gun. *Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I don't have any recent sales numbers but I sold a US marked Winchester M1918 BAR in 85% + condition 6 years ago for $28k . With the economy soft these past couple years I just don't know for sure .

    I've owned 2 over the years . Wish I still had one . They're a machined steel beauty

    There was one in town here ( a Blue, Colt 'Monitor' ) in Cosmolene which a guy wanted $2,000.00 for...but, that was back in the latter 1980s.

    I wish now that I would have spring for it...sigh...

    That was a heckuva deal even back in the 80's . I bought my first 1918 in 1990 for $2500 and that was great deal for the time .

    I made a Stock and forearm for a guy in 1988 for a prop "BAR" ( turned out so good, just about could have passed for 'NOS' ) and we were talking about how cool the real ones were, and, he mentioned to me about one for sale which someone he knew had, which was the 'Monitor' or Commercial version, in Blue and supposedly about as new or possibly NOS, in Cosmoline and old thin Brown Paper, and, I did not have the dough, and I was not up to speed on the Paperwork which in theory would have been necessary, and it might have been one which was 'sleeping' since the 1920s for all I knew, which might have had somerhting to do with the price being relatively easy-going, so, I did not do anything about it.

    It was just way out of my League in those days...in every way.

    But, it has haunted me ever since!! Lol...darn, I should have shaken the Bushes and rounded up the dough, and done whatever Homework was needed to at least see if it was Transferable!

    R75 sold for $37.5K
    R75a asking $58K
    R80 Monitor asking $95K
