1917 with million dollar chip

For $1500, if there isn't any pitting, the gun is a bargain. A period original, wood bottom magazine would add a little to the value. Repro grips would more than likely hurt you more than help. The 1917 artillery was a transition year for adjustible front and rear sights. If this artillery has both sights adjustible, then this adds a little cache to the gun, but not much to the value.
