what do i have?

sherpa

I have a spingfield 1911A1. It is chambered in 9mm and I cannot find any information on it, or another one like it! I'm looking not just for its value but general info on it and how i might find another one. It appears to be a standard model (no bell or whistles). Also its an original 9mm frame, not a conversion. Anybody have any background info on this thing? P.S. I have pictures but cant figure out how to add them to this posting.

Found this in a box of old items my family had and can't quite figure out what it is. No brand name but does say Germany and a serial number on it? Handle feels like plastic? Ammo that was with the gun was .22 cal longer bullet.
Full shot:


Serial number?

I'm wanting to get a idea on the value of a gun I have here. I went over to the auction side, but couldn't find anything on it. It's a semi-auto pistol chambered in 9mm. On the box, it has "Tressitu", "TZ99", and "South Africa". Came w/ two 15 rd clips,cleaning brush, and hard case. Gave about 350 for it about 5 or so years ago. Thinking about selling it. Thanks in advance[:)]

Double shot guns, Richards on side. Under barrel has several marks. One mark is 6665 another is 12 (perhaps gauge?) then also letters FG on both barrels; also a capital A. Then on each barrel two different "stamps of some symbol". Have good close up photo I could email, if helpful. Like to know WHERE and WHEN made and general QUALITY when new.

Other gun details: Wm Moore & Co. London Fine Twist 12 g initials J R and #13 under each barrel. Plus two sets of "stamps of some symbol," as on other gun. Again, like to know WHEN and WHERE made and general QUALITY when new. Also have photos.

MANY thanks for any thoughts! :-)

I have a old 32-20 cal, falling block,lever action,single shot rifle that has Made by Birmingham Small Arms Co. Ltd stamped on one side of the reciever and Commonwealth of Australia W.A. stamped on the other side of the reciever. I would like to find out any information about this rifle and approximately what it is worth. Thank You for any information.

I have a bolt-action rifle made by C.J. Hamilton & Sons.
It has No. 43 on it.
It is .22 caliber. short??
Made in Plymouth Michigan?? Around 1900-1907??

Is this gun which looks like a toy gun worth anything?
If so what is the value? I would say about 50%.
Still shoots.

At the local gun/dog trade show I found an old side by side 12 guage that was in pretty good condition. After inspecting it I found it to be in better shape than I thought, as it was very tight in all the right spots like the hinge area where it breaks and once locked back down it doesn't budge with a firm click!
Everyone kept asking me as I walked around with it in my arms "Hey...wht do you want for the old STEVENS?" .
It says no where on the gun "Stevens". It only says................... "The Sportsman"
CLEVELAND
I found the following in an artical after my own confusion and research on this nice gun.

The Sportsman: Trade name used by the H. & 0. Folsom Arms Company on firearms made for
the W. Bingham Company of Cleveland, Ohio.

Now the question remains...What is it?
By the way ...I gave $150.oo for it.
I forgot to add this bit of info...It has a number 1500 stamped into the side of the gun near the trigger guard. It also has stamped in the breach area behind the hinge portion..E O then "in circles beside that" is A E. It also has in smaller stampings on each side of the breach area an 8 then on the other side a "v". I have found in the past that these markings would identify the date and things of manufacturing.

Your link is not working. I did a little editing to the link and came up with this.

Looks like a .22?

It appears to me to be a highly sporterized, U.S. Model 1922 training rifle.

any idea of value?

It appears to be the M2 version. Because of the receiver sight has been removed and being drilled and tapped for scope. I would grade it as beeing in good condition. The ballpark figure would be in the $300 - $500 range.

To bad it would likely be more then twice that if it had been left in original condition.

anyone else want to jump in on this?

Definatly a model 22 Springfield, but as mentioned, sadly sporterized. The originals had Redfield or Lyman globe and aperature sights. You can see where someone tried to splice into the stock to cover where the rear peep once was. A scope on one of these(especially an 80's vintage Bushnell)is NOT CORRECT, and value drops even more. This work was surely NOT done at an arsenal. so value is highly affected. As mentioned, somewhere in the $400 range tops for insurance purposes.

Now worth about 25% of what it was before BUBBA tried to make it better The barrel , bolt, magazine would bring the same amount as complete gun However it might make a great shooting rifle. $300.00 MWAG
