Colt Officers Model Match date and value

[goneshooting]

Just picked up a Colt officers model match for $500 from original owner , says he never shot it and it looks like it as well, has no box . Was wondering if that was a good price or did i get taken. Also could someone could tell me the date it was manufactured serial number is 935XXX. Thanks

Sounds like you got a very good deal to me. Is it a .45ACP?

It would be great to see photos. You can blur the serial number. It has an great historical value for me. I know collectors like
1. original finish, if they had been refinished some collectors would not buy it
all parts to match- depending of the year the slide of the colt has also the serial number
if the handgun has depot markings- the price will drop
Is the barrel also a colt barrel



I have a 1944 colt 1911 A! with original finish, that I will never sell

congratulations

Juan

this would be a 38 special target revolver from 1966 or 67. 1967 serial # started with 935551. Price you paid is great. If it is as good of condition as you report, I'd think $750, more with original box. Colt non snake revolvers are overlooked by many but still very high quality, great shooting and still collectable.
