1906 AE 4" barrel 9mm
 

1906 AE 4" barrel 9mm.
Today at local gun show. No proofs, germany on front of frame, polished lower safety,Serial # 26xxx, ( waiting for owners permission to release serial number) Interesting serial number on barrel. Original was two numbers off, then last number re-stamped to frame and parts last number. Witness marks look good. Correct font and appears to have been blued after number change. Rest all matches ,70 %+ overall. Not for Sale. For Dwight,Ron will send full serial number when given the ok. Bill

Serial number on above 26644. Bill. Any idea on value?

Really hard to say Bill. The serial overstamp probably is legit, but 70% isn't a lot of finish. A 9mm AE is nice to have, but not especially rare. The overall appearance (e.g. no pittting, excessive wear, etc.) goes a long way in sales appeal, a bright gun holds more value than a dull one. I am guessing $1200 and it could go up or down from there.

Thank you Ron. It may be 80%. It has been used but not abused. He doesn't want to sell it he was just curious what it was worth. How many of these were manufactured? Bill

Bill, I think You can get a feel for how many 1906's by looking at Dwights commericial database?

But I would guess without pictures and your description of $1000-$1500; market is funny right now, things that I'd think would sell for $1500, sell for $1000...

Thanks Ed Bill
