Colt Commander LW Ser # 58xx LW 38 Super Value

[860306]

I have the oppurtunity to purchase a Colt commander LW Ser # 58xxLW, I figure it is in 70-75% condition; no rust just well used, idiot scratch and normal wear and tear. I figure it is an early 1950 manufacture. Any help in in determining value and date of manufacture woill be of help. I do not have pictures. Thanks

The gun was probably built in 1951. The poor condition reduces the value to shooter value, with very little "collector" status left. The "shooter" value of Model O Colts always amazes me, but I would think $400 to $500 for this gun would be the maximum.
