[JTF]

buddy bought it at an auction for $300, mint condition.

wondering about how much it's actually worth

thanks

*EDIT* don't have any pictures... might be a while, we're both off at work in a different province

the whole serial number is 9? if so i call bs.

IF it is a Colt 1911 in mint condition with a serial like that, it is worth a LOT.

(look at the first line)

who knows if it is BS or not, I trust my friend... either way; hypothetically, how much would it be worth?

 

[tiriaq]

In the US, at a major auction house, it would likely bring tens of thousands.

im not sure what its worth. i paid 1000 for a 1911 made in 1913 in very good condition. if its real and the serial number is actually 9 it shoud be worth a #### ton to the right person.

1 bazillion dollars. I just dont believe its a real GI 1911.

he's from valcartier and we're both in gagetown right now so getting pics might take a while (unless he's got them at home, but i will post some pics for you guys at some point in the future)

Folks, I think he's talking about a serial number that starts with a 9. No need to get so excited.

Tell him it get his wife son gf or who ever to get the gun out snap some pics and send them to him.

Here's No. 8. I wonder how many gazillions it's worth?

Seriously, I also would love to see pictures of No. 9. Colt likely did make that pistol back in 1912 and it may survive.

Serial number would be No9 for a US Govt contract or C9 for a commercial.

no, i'm actually talking about the serial number being 9, just 9..... not starting with or has it somewhere in it.... just the number 9


again, working on pics for proof...

I was thinking WTF??

You got me lol.

I believe number 9 was donated to a museum in the US by the founder of Guns and Ammo magazine. I will see if I can confirm that in the morning. He owned many other successful magazines and he had a very extensive firearms collection. Course it could have been 6 that I was thinking of too!

I'd be happy with that Tokyo Marui . My airsoft 1911 is a KJW.
