John to get the best value guess (which is what happens when you can't see the item in your hand, and this is experience from e-bay and the like), the more information the better.


To be considered completely matching, all coponants have to have the last two of the serial number, (plus for that year / model the serial stampings can vary).


So, if you go to the link to your left, g to tech info and pick Identification sheets. Here you can write down all the important information and get a good feel for the gun. Pictures can reveal if it has been re-blued, if the correct areas still are strawed, etc.


What markings are on the gun? Sometimes markings will make a gun totally normal and some markings will make it a rare or reasonably rare variation.


Then as Bill and I were discussing and he was totally right, condition is everything. If it is rare as all get out and been reblued, it isn't worth as much. If it is a common 1920 Commercial, and in mint shape, it is not worth as much as a 1918 in mint shape.
