NAA Quebec 1911 for sale!

I'm actually happy they priced it this way.

If it was 20K or less we risk a greedy buyer import stamping this rare gun and selling it in the U.S. just to make a quick buck.

I hope this one stays in Canada. The last one we saw for sale here on CGN re-appeared a couple months later down South for double the price with fresh graffiti marks. That was a lame move.

A new Car or Truck, or an NAA 1911???? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... :cool:

Does the NAA price per ounce of actual pistol weight = or exceed the price of Gold, Silver or Platinum? Or is it less?
 
Given that the 1911 pistol weighs in the area of 39 ounces, and gold selling at least $1595/oz (as of today), it's not worth it's weight in gold. :p

This is the first I've ever heard of these 1911's, I thought the rarest ones were the ones produced by Singer.

NAA 1911's are truly rare and desirable pistols. They made approx. 100 toolroom samples for possible use by the U.S. military.

Singer made 500 M1911A1's.

The NAA is rarer but since the Singer M1911A1's were actually accepted for use by the U.S. military and issued to the troops they are considered more desirable and command a higher price tag, up to $100,000 these days.

Been a collector of pistols for many years, not always on CGN except the last few yrs, in my circle of collectors whom are some very serious men it is the kiss of death should one decide to export anything, by kiss of death I mean to say you are shut down from each others collections.

Several schools of thought and ruffles many a feather over some serious pistol talk. I would have to say that no man has right to dictate to another where his wares go, these are tough times and sometimes you just have to make some moves, to Epps credit the pistol has been offered up here in Canada on their site so dig deep. it is always respected between collectors to keep a countries war trophy's in the land of the vet whom carried the goods home, not always the case especially in the early fifties when Canada and the USA swapped many an arm freely.

Steve has a good point on Import marks, thanks to the BATF weapons coming into the USA now have to be import marked much like yrs past when Lugers were marked made in Germany for export, the fact that Import marks are now mandatory on USA imports affects us all, I would prefer to have all our vets war trophys stay here in Canada however this would be a disservice to an widow or estate trying to secure the best deal for ones family.The market is huge in the USA but right now it is flooded with 1911's from several large estates.

NAA colts will never command the price of an Singer in the USA due to hype. period, production numbers regrettably do not count this time around.Anyone travelling to the large US gun shows pickup on this quickly, just remember men we can Import USA arms to a degree also so in short we can not be to harsh.

Just my two cents worth.
