Hard to say, Gary, at least it is for me. If ANY Artillery is worth a minimum of $1k, $1.5k for this one (see below) might be just a touch high for a collector's price, more fair if considered full retail. Those more knowledgeable will also offer opinions, I hope. Looks like a commercial...some were re-/custom barreled by importers, e.g. Stoeger. Import marked? S/N on barrel, or no? Grips numbered? The small parts should be strawed, I'd say, so maybe a refinish--maybe done without buffing because the edges look sharp and clean in this single pic? The mag bottom appears a bit beaten up, but due to retaining pin in center of knob, I'll be it's an FXO, which could be sold to someone who needs WWII, reducing net outlay for the pistol. Odds in favor of its being a great shooter! More pics would help!
