Malcome, If you want a Navy shooter it isn't too bad. I have a collector 1917 which I refuse to shoot because it is all matching and in great shape. I bought one this Summer, matching bottom with a matching top, neither to each other. Paid $1300 but I always wanted to have a Navy shooter and it shoots sweet! Had Ted Green straw the parts and it looks beautiful. A lot of money for a shooter but that's pretty much what they cost.

If it were in collectable condition it would make a big difference about the date. 1916 being the more desirable. In shooter condition I would not pay a premium for 1916.

A lot of considerations about the good buy, have a good bore? Grips solid? Does it cycle a round? Pretty much the used gun questions.....Jerry Burney
