W.W.1 Colt 1911 complete rig!

[Howard Kelley]

According to the records Howard you Colt was made in 1918. As I'm sure you know; it's very rare to find a complete rig like that. Congradulations.

Thanks Jim!

Now if I could only learn what the stenciled letters on the bandage pouch represent?

Best,
Howard

wow! thats a really nice rig! looks all matching and original

the GI M1911 / M1911A1 pistols are my favorite hand gun

What would be a fair value on something like this? I've been asked to look at almost the same set up except no canteen but there is a photo of the late vet wearing the holster and gun. I haven't seen it yet but just assuming it's in average shape for it's age. I was also told it's from 1918.
Thanks for any help.

Hello David,

Much depends upon condition, and the serial number of the 1911. 95% of the value is in the weapon. I've already received offers of $1800-$2000, which should give you an idea of the market value.

If you need any help, just drop me an e-mail.

Gook luck,
Howard

Thanks for the reply Howard. I figured it would be in that range.
