dclapper Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I have a 1928 West Hurley Thompson sold by the American Historical foundation. It's a Korean War Commemorative Model and is unfired. Paid $2995.00 for it. Whats it worth now? Not selling but just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z3BigDaddy Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 look on this page someone has a link to one at $11.300.00.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 It's worth keeping! It will only go up in value http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif (assuming it is transferable.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedgun1911 Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 From what I've seen, they can run $12,000 and higher. (If that seems high, try pricing a 1921 Colt. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondAmend Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Opinion Only: The gun itself is probably worth about $12,000. If one wanted to turn it into a shooter, that could be done for another $1250 or so for an IMA or Ohio Ordnance kit plus labor to swap everything off the receiver. If you have the display case also, maybe another $500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3BigDaddy Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Isn't the value here for the gun? Seems to me having it an unfired commemorative gun does not add any value at this point..... or am I off on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Chris Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Z3- I think the value here is the receiver, not the commemorative status. Full auto quantity is finite and demand clearly exceeds availibility. Personally, I think those guns are a little hard on the eyes, but they could probably be cleaned up pretty nice like SecondAmend said. I thought about doing this too and I decided to pass and just bite the bullet. But... if I had one, I would probably keep it too, not fire it and see what I could get for shooter guns. Safe queens are boring. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ph34r.gif Just my 0.02 - Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
