Opinions on this one, old auction

ChrisG43 · 06-25-2013, 10:38 PM

Was looking for opinions on this one, was wondering what others thought of the final price considering the holster, extra mag, and loading tool. Have been told that this is a Police Rework, with a replacement barrel, toggle, and armorers replacement grips....was also looking for opinions/ideas why the serial is double stamped on the sideplate? Thanks, Chris...

Secondly (different pistol), and this is definitely ballpark (no photos, etc.), what is a DWM 1915 all matching (minus mismatched magazine), 90% bluing worth approximately? My ballpark from looking at completed auctions, etc. is about 850-950$?

These things price is relative price. According to the ballpark of the 2nd one being $850-$950, the 1st one could be 50% of that. I don't track the price, but think in the way of being "attractive". If 1st one is $425-$475, it becomes attractive.

If 2nd one's ballpark were $2000, the 1st one would be attractive at $1000. If 2nd one's ballpark were $500, the 1st one would be $250. Just a theory.

It's received a sear safety at some point in the early 30's likely but the acceptance and proof on the right look fairly crisp, so I would say not been fully reworked.

I would say first one price is pretty good if all matching, and the holster, tool and one mag was a nice bonus of a free $300

The second one, no comment if I can't see it.
