What is todays value for this serial number 1 of 500 pistol? Thinking about parting with it!
Ok but what is a good starting asking price?Value is given by the consumer. Stick it on eBay or on here (much better) in the classifieds with an OBO on it! Best of luck
ok so why not a collector being it the first if only 500?That version was $160 new. The other versions of it are about $100. It is a shooter, not a collector.
Yeslooking at your picture : is it in like new condition ? does it have the box and all paperwork and items that came with it ? all effects value.
Well little do you know , that is the way it was produced to represent WWII wear and tear. It’s like new out of the box. Look it up, they’re all like this.I know nothing about the collectibility of the piece you have described to us. I do know collector firearms and condition is everything to a collector. The most rare gun in heavily compromised condition will usually not demand more than about 50% the value of a pristine example.
The pictures you provided indicate a piece with heavy wear with a goodly percentage of the original finish gone. That will negatively affect any collector value the gun may have.
I am not trying to be offensive. buying and selling collectible guns is a business transaction and it ain’t nothing but that. Values are somewhat subjective but condition rules the roost.
Yes only been fired a few timesIf you have the box and papers it's worth more. Condition is also a huge factor. Does it hold pressure and function? Is it 25 years old, vintage?
They still make a version of this pistol so it is more of a curiosity than a collectors item in my view.
Put it on eBay there was one there a few months ago. Don't know what it sold for. I had no personal interest in it.
Good luck
I believe it is the serial number and limited edition number as it’s the only number on the piece.I'm guessing the "1 of 500" is not a serial number, but stating it is part of a limited edition.
I stand duly corrected. If you able to determine a market value for it, I would be interested to know what it is.Well little do you know , that is the way it was produced to represent WWII wear and tear. It’s like new out of the box. Look it up, they’re all like this.
I wasn’t offended and I’ll let you know what it goes for at auction.I stand duly corrected. If you able to determine a market value for it, I would be interested to know what it is.
My apologies for offending you.
