What is it worth?

Found a Colt 1911 GI marked Property US Goverment.

Probably 98% It's absolutely perfect.

They had $1200 on it. Close or not?

What is a Smith & Wesson model 14, 6 inch barrel in very good to excellent condition worth? Also do you know where I can find a Smith & Wesson model 27 or 28 in 3.5 or 4 inch?

Put em' up for auction on GB with no reserve and you will find out. Ultimately the pistols worth is only what someone is willing to pay for them. I would speculate a buyer might pony up $1200 - $1500 on the pair. Good Luck.

Before offering them for sale, try writing the Glock factory and find out how many of these pistols with these particular markings were made.

There are only a few hundred Arkansas State Police troopers, so the initial order would have been small. If the order was cancelled in mid-run in favor of a different pistol, then the run of pistols may have been REAL small.

And a factory letter never hurts anything when you try to sell.

Well I was able to find out that the original order was for 325 G35's. They issued 8 of them to officers and they decided to go with G21's.
