Price check on 1911 WWI Redo

[bnew]

Hi I have a NIB Colt 1911 WWI reproduction. I want to sell it and I wanted to know what a fair asking price would be?

[Krag Fan]

There has been one up on Calguns for $2,250 for quite a while.

If its been there for that long , I guess that's too much. Thanks

Weren't there two models? First had the heat blue finish which had been farmed out, and the next one was in house tank blued.

[bnew]

Johnny, I didn't know that. I wonder, is there a way to tell the difference. I know you they farmed them out to. But when you ask him he must be sworn to secrecy , he doesn't give a lot of information.

The heat blue has a somewhat iridescent blue color where the hot blue has a dull flat blue color.

Johnny thanks, I will check tonight and let you and everyone know.

I can tell you about my WWII , 1911's but not this. I bought it because I thought I would shoot it. Well it still sits in the safe. I figured I sell it and buy a HP for my son.

First issue serial number started or ended with WMK 2nd issue started or ended with WWI.The WMK marked 1911's seem to command more of a premium if unfired and with all original accessories box etc.

I Have seen hem sell for $1200-$1500. Try the Colt Forum and someone will probably pick it up.
