1917 with million dollar chip

erndog105 · 04-06-2007, 11:58 AM

I looked at an artillery yesterday that had the chip out of the grip. It is a 1917, SN 1466 (light was not good enough to see what alpha character was present), all number matching except the mag. Did not remove the grips. Are Artillery grips normally numbered like other parts? Could I replaced the grips and enhance the gun any. He wants $1500. Finish is good, about 85% to 90% blue and easily 95% on straw. Sorry no photos.
I don't need this gun but if there is a way to make it a good collectible, I might go for it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
