M1911A1 pistol. What's it worth?

March 03, 2011 14:20

My brother and I were cleaning out our parents attic today and came across an M1911A1 pistol serial #1132876. My father was a captain in the Army and it may have been his own. I came across your site and wonder if you could assist me in knowing what it's worth and how to go about selling it. I think it would be safe to say it is excellent condition with very little wear or damage. Don't know if it had ever been fired. I don't know how to tell. Pics soon

You as the seller will not need a permit, but in some states the buyer must have a permit, or a concealed carry permit.

To learn how to sell it, see the FOR SELLERS tab on the top of the GB home page.

You can transfer it to a resident of your own state (state & local law permitting), or to an FFL or C&R licensee in any state.

After discussing with family members I have decided to pass the M1911A1 pistol down to my nephew, and keep it in the family. He is a Gulf War veteran and it makes sense to do this. Thank you all for your replies. Peace and blessings to all of you.

Concur with Perry. Good choice. My grandfather gave me his fathers medals from the Great War for the same reason. I am a gulf war veteran also.

Good idea. It's better investment than gold and he can shoot it too.
