Double Dated Police Value

Sieger · 07-05-2005, 03:18 AM

Hi:

I'm looking at an all matched (commercial location) 1913/1920 Double Dated DWM that has a perfect bore and had a Police Sear Safety (now missing).

The blueing is approximately 95%, the straw approximately 85%. The wood bottom magazine has no serial number.

According to its owner, the pistol came from Bremerhafen, right after the war.

What is a fair price to offer for this pistol?

Hi Bob,

As you know it's nearly impossible to evaluate a pistol without photos, but if in the condition that you state. I would speculate the value to be in the $700-$800 range depending on the buyer. The fact that the
sear safety is missing will depreciate it somewhat. Just a WAG.

Bob,

Are there any markings on the front grip strap?

Don:

No, the pistol isn't unit marked in any way.

Thanks!
