M1900 comes and goes at Auction...

When it went past my $400 bid, it left me "amazed".

yeah, but Don - I think the upper receiver is probably worth $400+ - the toggle since its been modified, still harder to find, and close to that amount

The frame itself is harder to find and worth $400 with many parts on it

So, we are up to $1200 and a complete gun should be worth more than its parts.

As Rick said, different times - at one time Georg Luger used one for target shooting - and a Lyman sight would have been the thing to get

I see original 1911 and 1911a1 slides with bomar sights and think, jeez.... But they used sights like these by the US Army shooting team if I remember right?

Ed,
I didn't mean that $400 was its "value", only what I would spend on it for a toy.
