Thanks for looking at my guns. I have 2 different guns I am holding for my Father-In-Law. He asked me to see what they are, what year made, and what value they hold. He said that these where his fathers, so I am assuming these are old. I searched the Internet, but had hard time zeroing in on what these are. Please help if you can.

    I tolk a look at the last photo again, Ugly. But it is just dust. I guess the flash made it look like something worse. Thanks for the input, I welcome all who can help. Chas

    Saxon's estimate on the M1911 may be accurate, but it is a Springfield Armory, not a Colt. It was made in 1914. There is not enough detail in the photos to estimate a precise % of finish, let alone verify that it is original. We also need to see the bore and barrel markings, since a replacement barrel is possible.In order to get a better estimate, it must be eye-balled (seen in person) by an expert. If you can give us your city, maybe we can suggest a local collector who could help. Neal

    Thanks so far for all the input on this post and the E-mails. I live in Pgh Pa. Should I find a specialty gun shop, or any gun shop will due? Here is another question maybe someone could answer. If these were military guns issued to his father, was he allowed to keep them, and pass them on? My Father-In_law does not believe these are registered in his name, but he is not sure since he got them so long ago. If I take them for appraisal, is there a chance he could loose them?
