Thx OD - indeed yes it does seem prices commanded are lower than some folks imagine. Guess it's a case of finding right buyer etc.
Mind you this guy is not looking to sell really - just learning more about them as he was very much in the dark. Hmmm that John Wayne - do wish I'd snapped a pic or two now. No scabbard I know of. The receiver is I guess pewter plated and a fairly modest but pleasing engraving. Maybe I'll get a pic eventually. Anyways - much appreciate the feedback and will pass it on.

Years ago I had the full set of six. Four were from WWI and the other two were from WWII. The WWI pistols had a black finish with the roll engraving filled with gold paint. There were 3 grades of these pistols. This looks like it was the same grade that I had, the bottom level. Very pretty, but as far as an investment goes, I got about the same as if I had put the money in a bank savings account. But I did have the enjoyment of owning them for a few years.

I'm not a collector either. Drives me crazy not to be able to shoot one. However I can still drool all over the puter screen. Great pics Chris.

Feel free to let the owner know that I would be willing to "Part" with a 15 year old male offspring, (mostly) housebroken, very well suited for "domestic consumables reduction" work of almost any kind, in exchange for his "twins".
The offspring should work well for years to come, as he's never done a lick of work for me, or anyone else for that matter.
