Default Information on commercial .45 Hand Ejector Model 1917

I was in a local gunshop and found a commercial 1917 45 Hand Ejector. I came home and read up on the 1917 in the Standard Catalog. How rare are the commercial 1917s and what would be an estimated value? The asking price was 550.00 and I would rate the condition at 70%. It had bluing wear on the back strap and had what appeared to be a police department's name engraved in it. The bore looked good and the lockup was tight. Thanks for any help!

Commercial Model 1917s are not rare, but uncommon, as compared to the military model. (Unless they are a factory Target version ). Condition is the key to value, in most cases, unless the gun has some verifiable heritage to a known character or user. At 70% it's a shooter in most collector's view and $550 is in the ball park. Further research as to whether a law enforcement unit owned the gun, etc. could add to the value. Ed.
