Brand new colts seem to go for just a hair under a grand at a starting point. CMP models go for more than that....
I would very roughly guess in the thousand dollar area, though I'm by no means an expert and hope to read what others think
Uuuuuhhh….. That was the most "middle of the road",Possibly controversial opinion here, but I think it's "value" is whatever your dad thinks is a fair price. It's not a collectors piece so resale price will depend on the ability to find a buyer when (or if) he wants to sell it but if it's a keeper then resale is a non issue, this isn't a tool, it's a toy that if pressed could be used as a tool. It isn't a utility pistol so comparing value to something like a Glock or even a more modern interpretation of the 1911 isn't all that useful. To me this would be more of a emotion driven Vs a logical / need oriented purchase so I would evaluate the 'value' by comparing how having the cash compared to having this pistol to enjoy. Sometimes having cash is more valuable than whatever you could buy regardless of how well priced that thing is. Other times, if you have enough cash traidning cash for things you can enjoy is worth more than the actual value of the cash in question
I think the price range others have given are accurate, but in the end he has to decide if having that particular pistol is worth the price of admission
That was both very funny and very true....Uuuuuhhh….. That was the most "middle of the road",
non-judgmental, non-dictatorial "controversial" opinion that I have ever read….. that wasn't posted by @Andy54Hawken.
Just pickin' on ya Andy!
@Andy54Hawken do you have a value opinion?That was both very funny and very true....
With that said....
My middle of the road , non-judgmental , non-dictatorial , controversial opinions are backed up by my
Colt Series '70 ( original ) Government Model in .45ACP....Just something to consider....
( Top one in the picture )
Or as to dollar value for the pistol in the OP...somewhere between $800 and $1,200 or thereabouts.
Andy
Thank you sir.@thebigbaby
Somewhere around $800- $1,200 depending.
That depending is mostly on the bore.
Which is an easy fix if the bore isn't as good as one would want.
Simple replacement and easy to do at home...just be sure to keep the original.
Andy
You are very welcome.Thank you sir.
It does NOT look like a flamboyantly effeminate man!!From the picture...it looks like a dandy.
