Auction Finds

[m-1911]

I picked up these two at a gun auction yesterday

The 1905 is an early 4th change, nothing exceptional but still a nice early model. Has some wear but is "as new" mechanically. $187 out the door

The tip up is the rarer short barrel model which I discovered is worth quite a bit more. I did not realize this until I got it home. This one set me back $154 out the door

It went for $875 plus 10%. Needless to say I was not the winning bidder. The gun was nice, but not THAT nice

 

[gjamison]

that seems high, what was the finish like?

 

[m-1911]

Maybe 85-90%. I think the holster and ammo pouch drove it up

I figured it was a $500 gun, tops!!!

Nice guns at good prices, both of them. Congratulations.
