If the serial number is legit it was made in 1924. Need quality photos, specially close-ups. Might be quite valuable if it's factory original and in VG condition. 0 -

Thank you, i will try and post pics this weekend. Also, could you tell me, on the auction side of this site, does anyone ever sell a "collection" of guns at one time?0 -

Not usually done. Guns are sold on individual basis.
If you have a collection of guns you want to sell, normally a firearms dealer would handle the transaction. As he is purchasing them on a wholesale basis for resale, expect 40% to 60% of what you would realize if you sold them individually on the auction.0 -

"Yeah, i guess you are right, i just didnt want to sell so many in separate listings"...........it all depends on how much 'work' you want to put into it. put in a lot of work (sell individualy) and get the most return, farm out the work (pay someone else, sell to a dealer) get less. most 'buyers' (retail) don't want a 'collection'. 0 -

Hello Karen,
Serial number 90 was manufactured July 22, 1924 (in just the second month of production). It potentially is worth a fair amount of $$$$, but the graded condition will dictate what it is actually worth. If possible, please post some pictures of it.0
