Have a friend who has an old Colt 1917 gov't model and wants to sell it to me.
He needs some $ but has not set a price for the gun.
want to help him out but do not want to pay $400 for a $300 item.
finish is about 50%  5" model
In my last move I tossed all of the old blue books I had and have not replaced it yet.
Can some one pull thier book off the shelf and tell me,
what is it worth?
Thank you,
Mcduck.
