| Pre-war Colt Governments
Guys I am back in my home state visiting my new grandson and have visited a gun shop that I used to do a lot of business. They have two pre war Colt commercials, one a 1922 and a 1917. Both of thease guns are in good shape considering their age and I would rate them at 90 percent. They are asking $1021 for the 1922. Not being up to date on the old ones is this a good price? Thanks in advance. |

It is really a shot in the dark to guess values without seeing the pistol and verifying that it is the original finish and all correct. But, if it is truly 90% or better that's not a bad price. How much do they want for the 1917?

kwill Both 1911's have not been refinished. I am going back to the shop tomorrow and will ask. Both guns appear to be original and unrefinished. The deceased owner of this shop has been in business since 1945 and dealt with high quality firearms such as the 1911's, Parker and LC Smith shotguns. They have a web site: morriswatchshop.com. Don't let the name fool you as they don't sell watches. |
