How about pitting??? Does it have fine-tune front and/or rear sight??? What is the complete serial number (including the letter below the serial)??? How is the checkering on the grips???
It's a buyers market; I don't collect arty's, but have been watching them for over a year now on GB, and for
just the pistol, $1200 - $1500 seems to be average (non-fine tune)...there have been some "sell" for more, but they turned up again a few weeks later...(Or didn't sell and were relisted)...
This is for average condition arty's; not collector grade...and this is my own personal observation and I'm welcome to it...
