Browning Pistol Value

I have a Browning Hi Power Mark I, Canadian Inglis, with tangent sights and the butt bracket that accommodates a stock. Serial number starts with 5CH. I think it was made in Canada, for Chinese Government in 1945, and have no idea as to value. It has not rust, pitting or bad dings, but does show some blueing wear.

Does anyone have a value range for something like this?

Thanks,
Arnold

  Finish on your Chinese Inglis might not be original. They were Pakerized (gray color) when they were shipped over to China. When they reimported and sold as surplus in the 80's & 90's. Some were quite worn finish wise and might have subsequently been reblued. This would affect collectors value.

  I have a mixed Chinese contract Inglis with reblued slide and reParkerized frame.
  For a few more bucks I could have chosen a matching no P35 but you can't pocket 20-20 hindsight. It was for some experimental work I did in the '70s so mixed s/n's didn't matter.
  Over time,I was able to replace the rear sight, slidestop and safety with new Inglis parts from Canada.
  This is a very nice shooting pistol that handles any handload as well as a 41 Action Express conversion kit.
