    MrMel,You have a pistol that cost quite a bit new, but unless you find someone who wants it as a collectible, I'm afraid that the previous response was about right. Those "collector" gold plated pistols that are sold don't seem to have a large demand. Personally, I think they are downright gaudy and would not pay $100 for one.Those are the kind of guns that tend to stay with the original owner because they are hard to sell and durn near impossible to sell at a price that would come close to what was paid for it in the first place.

    Thank you for the replies. I suspected as much. It was given to me as a present for a deed that I preformed.I've always felt that a firearm that you couldn't shoot was a piece of useless scrap iron. This is going to be the 'prettiest' target pistol on our fieing range. If it shoots well, I can always use it for home defense.Thank you again,MrMel
