Well, after several emails back and forth, Bob has decided that he wants everything he sold me back (the barrel and the magazine). I offered to keep the magazine and let him refund my $190 for the etched barrel he sold me, but he told me no. He wanted me to send it all back. Frankly, I don't trust him. I have been ripped off by internet scammers before, but not again. I can see it coming. The old "your package never...

B, Curious as to whether that one is all correct such as barrel, grips etc. I purchased one years ago and its missing or mismatched several parts and have been lately trying to find the parts needed, which is tough.

Hi Duane, A mighty big thanks for your quick and detailed response. That really helps put things into perspective. Seeing as though it may not garner significant value, I suppose I can take it to the range again. Like a restored car - sometimes you just have to drive it. What do you think? Sit on it or take it back to the range? I'm impressed by how much info you had on it. I guess I inquired at the right place. Thanks again for so many...

Original finish Ithaca pistols were Dulite blue or parkerized. Badly worn or parts pistols, absent some kind of solid provenance, are worth only the value of the parts and plated parts have little or no value. I would say $900 is about three times the actual worth of the pistol.

HS marked High Standard barrels are correct for Ithaca, Rem Rands and US&S pistols. The number that is on the barrel hood is not a factory mark and would not be a correct original marking. It is really hard to tell why someone wrote the number on it. There are examples of National Match pistols that the serial number of the pistol was marked on the barrel so as not to lose track of the properly ...

If I were you I would leave the pistol just the way it is. The slide is not correct for the pistol anyway. Anything you do to it will only cost you and it still will not be original ever again. Even if you found a correct style and vintage A1 slide it still won't have the correct serial number on it to match the frame.

It looks like a pretty typical Arsenal Rebuild which was rebuilt at Augusta Arsenal (AA) and most likely saw use in WWII after it's rework and possibly on into Korea and VietNam too. It looks like it has most of its correct parts by external visual inspection except for the replacement grips which look like late WWII Colt large ring panels. Then after the Arsenal inspected the pistol and...

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. If you have an all correct 1943 vintage 1911A1, the hammer should not be biting you. The hammers of that vintage are short and and the grip safety, if correct , should have the larger and longer type toggle that protrudes out far enough so the hammer will only contact it and not have a chance to bite you. If by chance you have some earlier type parts off...

I'm new on here but very familia with guns,but I think what your asking is almost impossible. Like pricing an automobile with-out seeing it. Maybe someone can, but don't think its an accurate or good way to do business.
