Picked this up in a trade a few days ago and know nothing about its worth. I'm most certainly not looking to sell it, as I've kinda fallen in love with it.
The serial is 48****. Dates it as begin made in 1945; and one of only 1,000 made that year. Barrel rifling is pristine, mirror finish. I would say that the blue finish is at 90%+. Original checkered wood grips w/ a minor scratch.
Just kinda wondering what the dollar value is on a firearm like this might be, really for insurance purposes. I found a lot of info on the gun, just not alot out there in terms of determining value.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to reply to the thread or send me a PM.
Here are a couple pics......
