This classic .22LR pistol was brought in for service and I thought this was a great conversation piece. This model was developed during WW II as a training pistol for the Colt model 1911 .45ACP. This particular model was manufactured for the civilian market like many that you may see were. As our Grandparents/Great Grandparents leave us and the family is going through their belongings. If you happen to find a pistol like this and it is marked U.S. on the barrel or HD please do not pawn it off for a few dollars. There are many examples like this that people think have little value because you can’t put a flashlight, and an Icee maker on it. If you need help going through a relatives firearms for liquidation please contact us so that every firearm is properly identified, and valued. Certain models of these firearms can fetch up to $6000 so please don’t assume it was Grand Dads plinker.

Sir,
Unlike the rest of the world The United States of America is backwards with our gun laws. In most country’s where guns are hard to buy you can buy suppressor’s at your local Walmart. In the U.S. suppressor’s are restricted so it may take further cost, and paperwork to get these weapons back to the States if purchased from a U.S. citizen. We can assist your sale but I wanted you to beaware of our laws. It would also be great if you could post some pics. of your rare pistols.
