1911 P08 with no hold open

mdrumbore · 11-13-2014, 10:23 PM

A friend of mine recently picked up a 1911 DWM P08 that was never modified for a hold open. It is all matching except the magazine and conservatively 95% condition and is also unit marked on the front grip strap. There is also a brown 1913 dated military holster with imperial proofed tool with it. I'm trying to ascertain a value on the rig for him. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a few more pictures I can post once I get them on my iPad. Also ignore the letter in the picture it is part of an inside joke between us.

Here's the unit mark

Please spell out the Unit Mark for us, as that would influence value, based on rarity. Also closeups of all markings and surfaces will help in better establishing percentage of finish remaining. The marking on the tool is also important. Also show manufacturer of the holster.

A superbly kept, early holster, BTW.

Let me advise: B.1.R (script) A.F.1.7. and the holster AWM 9/13
