Colt 1911 value ?

[GI JEW 555]

Hello Northwest Members,

As I pride myself on knowing an infinitesimal amount on a variety of matters (jk), it is always helpful to get assistance from those who know much more. With that being said, I'll get to it:

I have a 1984 Model mk80 colt combat commander blued in 45 acp.

This exact model, year and finish has taken many years to track down believe it or not. As I'm aware that the saying a firearm is worth what someone is willing to pay.

Looking for something to log in the books for a fair value once I'm gone and the wife decides to keep or sell it.

On a side note. upon receiving the pistol it came with the box, paperwork, mag, and in better shape than anticipated. Not a photographer but tried to give a good representation.

Thanks for reading and any advice.

I would say if you bought it relatively recently what you paid is what it's worth. In 10, 20, or 50 years that number will change .

I know it's a money outlay, but I normally have the Blue Book of Gun Values on hand. Don't have a recent edition with me now. That's where I look. Values can change year to year, but as with anything firearm related, what someone is willing to pay is what it's worth.

Thank you, I think I'll try and pick one up this weekend.

I thought the BB of Gun Values went online a while back? Sort of like a "subscription service" model.

Aloha, Mark

They have had the subscription service available for quite awhile now, but the hard copy can still be purchased. There are times when some of these reference materials are just useless. I've seen some firearms sell for much more than they were worth, often through bidding, some that were priced reasonably just never sold. You can't have enough references.
