Colt Model of 1909 Revolver (US Army)

Johnny, My page is the same except for the 100% being 2200 instead of 3200. One of us has a misprint. lol

What is your 98% value? As noted on mine, it is $2800, and you have to get down to 90% to get below $2200.

I haven't looked at prices for a while but that seem very high to me. I don't remember what I paid for my 1903 vintage but it wasn't anywhere close to that.

Did you figure out that you didn't have a Model 1909?

It hasn't been out of the safe in a couple of years. I guess I should shoot it more often.

Don't worry. I have never shot my Model 1909, and I still remember everything about it.

Mine book is $1000 lower across the board for the Army. Now the Navy is $3500 for 100% then $3100 for 98%. Does this agree with yours Johnny?

Yes, that agrees with mine. Note the page I copied from mine in post #12.

This sale is 14 months ago but a good comparable. 1909's are increasing at a greater rate than the guide indicates in my opinion.

Navy - 100% = $3500 and 95% = $2600.

USMC - 100% = $4000 and 95% = $3200.

Either one of those pistols would bring double that in 100%.

Hi Johnny
What do you think a 1909 USMC in 75% condition with 75% USMC Holster would sell for today?

[Johnny P]

The price curve is the steepest when you drop from the !00% condition (if such a revolver exists) through the next few percentages, but tends to level out more as you past the 90% condition. Nothing but my opinion, but I would think that a Model 1909 USMC in 75% condition would be in the $3000 range. I don't really keep up with the market on leather, but I would think the holster would be in the $1000 range.

Thanks Johnny that makes sense.
