i have this 1900 which was grandfathered to me by my father. i was considering selling it, but was finding it a bit tough to get any concrete info on it. it is Prohib. so not anyone can buy it. does anyone here have any idea as to what these go for if they're in really good condition??

thx :)

There is not a lot of interest (by those who can buy them) in those guns so decent prices are hard to get. If you don't realy need the money then I would say just keep the gun.
 
that's what i was thinking rudy. thx

the cal's .32 ACP or 7.65mm. and the barrel's 4".
 
Also an interesting piece of history; a pistol like that fired the first shot of World War One, when a Serb named Gavrilo Princip killed Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo.
 
heck I'd like it for my browning collection (such as it is, pretty small but growing) but I'm laid off. If you wanted 125 for it, I'd take it or a bit more but we can't let my wife find out!!!!!:runaway:

Actually it was a 1910, but the 1900 was used in the assassination of Russian Governor-General of Finland in 1904.
Sorry I don't have a price for it, sorry it's prohib.
 
I moved here from the U.S. where I collected autoloaders like this 1900 (had two of them). I really don't know what price you can get here, but if it were me I'd keep it. It's historical -- one of the first really successful autoloaders, and as others have pointed out, a model with historical ties. However, if you contact Questar (Questar.ca), for a price they may be able to find a buyer in the States and facilitate the transfer. Prices in the State for pistols like these are considerably higher.

thanks for the replies guys... i AM going to keep it, i was just wondering what it was worth ;)
i knew a little about the history. my friend's picking me up some .32ACP rounds in the US as i write this. then i get to see how it shoots. i also have this 1914 Luger in excellent cond. and this Colt Police Positive which a retired officer gave my dad in like the 50's or something. and that would be the 3 of the 4 guns which make up my Prohib collection...:rolleyes:

i didn't realize that. i checked a few local shops for it and was told they didn't carry it. so my buddy volunteered to bring some back. i don't think he's too worried about getting caught, but he's wise enough to hide it well enough that he shouldn't run into any issues... i hope :(
