Nobody here can tell you.  You need to get it appraised by an expert who knows about military history.

It may be worth more if there is something special about it, like a typo.  I would check with a rare coin dealer.

The serial numbers will tell you how old it is. Firearms that were made before 1968 were not required to have a serial numbers. I would take it to the local gunsmith he/she will know something about it.

Go to your local antique store or an appraiser.  They have methods of finding out where an item was made, how old it is, etc. often with their services for free.  Hope this helps.

They have some of those on display at the Smithsonian Museum of American History.  Maybe if you send them an e-mail they can tell you what they have theirs insured for (not likely).  Or put it on Ebay with a high reserve, and see if you get any good bids without selling it.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nBy your description is sounds like you have a Colt "Lightweight" Commander (sometimes called a Combat Commander). I do not know how you arrived at "fair" condition, but by your description this pulls down the value of your pistol. Again, by your description, it sounds like your Colt was made sometime in the 1970's. This vintage will add to the value, however, based on local pricing your Colt may pull $200-$300 but no more than $400 if the future buyer knows anything about pistols. \n\nGood luck.

If this rifle is in any kind of recognizable condition, it's too valuable to take chances with. Take it to at least two reputable antique firearms dealers for appraisal. Do NOT sell it to the first dealer that makes an offer. Remember, the less they pay you-- the more profit they make when they sell it.

i bet not too many.  maybe look at the serial number, sometimes it can give you a clue.  something like XX0000500 might mean you have the 500th gun they made.\n\ni know about the X2, but didn't even know they had an elite light with gold engraving.

The Mark V was made in Germany by  J.P. Sauer from about 1960 to 1972. Some of these are the finest ever produced and are quite collectable. Some are just good. Also, the value has everything to do with condition. \n\nIn excellent condition, $800 to $1500. Special models more. Any metal finish wear, damage, wood finish damage, etc. will make that amount half. \n\nGo to the website below and ask the experts:
