1917 Marked Artillery

Well I didn't buy it. He sold it to a dealer at the auction for $3200. I probably didn't make it clear but the very end of the barrel was worn. The part that bothered me was the leather and stock. There were no markings on either and the leather looked too good. For a 90 year old holster, it looked too good. The gun itself looked good. All of the lettering looked crisp, and at least to me, did not look refinished. I would have probably turned around and resold it, which mean't that it better be worth well more then $3000 to make it worth my while. Just the gun itself would have probably have been worth that though, if I were going to keep it.
