What is the fair market value of an original serial numbered Colt Thom


Recommended Posts

The ones I've bought were around 2K.

Enjoy the hunt!

FWIW, one in very nice, maybe even excellent, condition sold on Gunbroker a year ago for $4495 plus HIS. The auction was stopped early so it may have gone higher. There is one currently on Gunbroker (auction no. 824231469), but that drum has some rust pitting and the entire drum, including originally nickel plated rotor, has been re-blued.

 

Best of luck with your quest.

 

Be well.

I saw the L drum on Gunbroker which looks pitted and has been refinished for $1,250. Autoweapons wants $5500 and $5800 for each for 2 L drums in fair condition but that price seems awfully high.

That price seems awfully high, because it is. Buying from a private collector, if you can find one that has a nice one for sale, would cost you less, in my opinion.

Some pictures of a C drum I might purchase. I wondering what a fair price is.

awesome looking drum, the words look white i haven't seen that before and some colt Thompson all the markings are yellow. is this regular?

No, modern day additions to highlight the markings. You can use a china marker, grease pen or numerous other methods

A lot of people will put white fingernail polish over the lettering to "make it pop". It can be a nice look, if done right.

My only Colt era C drum purchase was for 6K in 2012. Lately I've seen prices north of 8K.

Enjoy the hunt!
