His asking price is $1500 because "he really doesn't wanna sell it." Any help would be appreciated thanks! The pistol I would say is in 80-85% with a parkerized finish and no rust but the finish is worn in some area and the lanyard loop looks slightly bent with some of the ribbing on the back to be dented inward like something hit it. There is no magazine included with the pistol.īut yeah I think that covers everything and I just wanted to get an estimate how much something like this would be worth. The only other important thing I can remember was the barrel to be from High Standard with the correct "HS" marking. The grips looked to be Keys and the insides were ribbed but instead of seeing a star there was just a number "6" etched inside the center of each panel. On top of the frame with the slide removed I found another "RS" stamped by the hammer. Also the hammer was narrow instead of wide. The trigger was stamped instead of milled, and I assume the mainspring housing and hammer to be from Ithaca because they were both serrated instead of checkered. The U.S property marks were all intact but the trigger, mainspring, housing, and hammer were I assume not original to the frame. Which they also stated the pistol's frame was originally blued and dated 1941. I looked up the marking on coolgunsite and found it was for Robert Sears. Not sure what year it was though and the frame is a Colt with an inspector's mark of "RS" inside a square. The pistol as stated in the title has an Ithaca slide with all the correct proof markings. I would have taken pics but the owner wasn't to keen on the idea so bare with me as I try to remember everything from memory. The pistol was claimed to be an Ithaca but upon first seeing it I found it had the marking "AA" for I assume was Augusta Arsenal.Īfter noticing the refurbishment mark I decided to look the gun over more closely.

I'd rather have an unmolested military pistol, which is what these CMP guns are. If the parts are 'correct' but differences in finish and wear (and very likely a punched rework marking) indicate that they're not original, the gun will be an all-Colt 'mixmaster'. A gun that's 'correct' and one that's 'correct and original' aren't the same thing. Is all that really going to increase the gun's value? Who to? Someone looking for a 'correct and original' pistol might be drawn in, but if they know what to look for, it shouldn't take too long to figure it out. Swapping in a Colt slide to a Colt frame, just because they're both Colt, possibly with different ages, definitely with different finish/wear/holster patterns and most likely with a sloppy fit. Whoever paired up that frame and slide probably took some care (at the very least) to fit them properly. If I had such a gun, I would take good pictures of it, including any and all parts, and not change anything on it. Anything that's mismatched on or in them, was put there by an army armorer. but in my book, these are 100% verified unmolested military-owned guns.
the fact most/all appear to be re-arsenalled. There seem to be many people who are keen to 'make right' their new CMP M1911A1s.
