Dirk67 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Bought this at a auction of a local vet. It looks like an unmarked Russo case. It has obviously seen some hard use, if it could talk. This came in a box with some other stuff that I wanted for my M1. Any idea what its worth. It has a battle field affected repair on the flap with a steel probably foreign replacement pin. I had it looked at by a local guy that authenticated that and several other items but he would not give a price as he had only every seen one, the one he was holding. There is numbers under the flap that correspond to something, gun?,motorcycle?GI?. The bag is approximately 24” long. Just trying to get a ballpark value.

dalbert Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I'm thinking based on condition, maybe $200. Its condition is not that great, and it's unmarked, which makes it less desirable than others. Its provenance is unknown. Of course, the price is just my opinion, but the overall market on cases has been flat for the last several years. Any other opinions? I'm not trying to turn this into a sales post, as the member is unknown to me. David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt21a Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) David it right on. no more or less. its worn and marked up with numbers which mean nothing. Guys want these mint to unissued cond. Unless you have a worn Colt 21a to go with it in same shape.and four mags, cleaning rod and you have a complete rig now. I would pass unless they tell you two c notes will do it. If you really really want it badly.Colt21a Ron Edited April 4, 2018 by colt21a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron_brock Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 It would probably be helpful to get pics in some natural light to see how stained it really is. Possibly even some light cleaning and air dry may help. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piep Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Could the 4280 be the s/n of the Thompson that was with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijive Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Could the 4280 be the s/n of the Thompson that was with it?Piep, That is certainly a possibility. If it is the serial number of the gun, that number has an interesting history (not gangster related). I doubt there would be any way to prove the connection, however.

Piep Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 If anyone has the time to look up the number 4280 in one of Gordon's books and post it it would be interesting. To me anyway.ThanksPiep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
