value of 1917

If you could buy a 1917 DMW Artillery all matching except magazine with a bad reblueing on the barrel, some very small pitting, possibly light rust and some blue loss all over, would it be worth $1,500 in this condition? Sorry, no I don't have pics. Just negotiating at this time.

I don't think so.
You can get a better one with original finish for that. JMHO.

If you are looking for a shooter..in that condition more like $1,000 IMO. IF it actually shoots and has a decent enough bore.
