Colt 1917 45 acp

[ghitch75]

someone had it nickeled at some point.....what would it be worth as is?....

[NorwichCadet]

Grips are wrong and maybe other issues. With refinishing maybe $250 I would say.

[ghitch75]

oh i know it's not a collector piece....so 250 is it?

[ghitch75]

would 375 be to high to pay?

[rhmc24]

If the grips are original Colt rather than modern plastic, if the bore is very good and function is right, I'd go $375.

$375 is OK if you like it. If you are just getting it to resell and makes some money, pass on it.

Yes, $375 is too high to pay. If the stocks are originals, they might be worth $100, and the gun another hundred as a shooter. I would not buy it at any price over the value of the stocks, and then only if I needed them.
