Frank, welcome to the forum. You have a 1916 that has been nickled or chromed (ruining the collector value). Depending on if it got buffed or not, I have bought these for around $450 and sold for $550 at gun shows.

The holster if all correct is worth another $150-$250; see if there is a tool in the pouch? Blank, add $40, if marked, can be $60-$80

Thanks a lot ed, i always wondered why it was chrome or nickeld.
Too bad that ruins the collector value nice to know how much it is worth and i do have that tool in the pouch. Not looking to sell it, i think its a beautiful gun. But now that i know the collector value has been ruined i might actually shot it.
thanks again
Frank
