    Depends on Condition, they are Not a Daily shooter since it is aluminum-framed, made for military officers.

    I seen many of them in Florida in "the 'late 70s".
    I lived at the range since it was 1 1/2 miles from my home. Shooting daily for 3+ years. That was the Good Old Days.

    The carry folks Loved Them, the Daily Shooters Hated Them!
    Need to inspect the frame for wear/cracks, safety issues.
    They seemed to lose value fast back then; New $199 and used $75~$125.
    It's a great firearm, if the frame is beat, just replace the lower and move on.

    Today they are collectors items, so it's hard to price, Market demand rules.
    The older models are collectable.

    I would say $800 - $1000, depends how bad the buyer wants it for their collection so could be more to the right collector. Looks like is all original OEM parts so that a big help for collectors. A little hard to tell in your pictures but it doesn't look to be in very good/mint condition, if it was and had the box and papers I would say it could go for $1,500 - $1,800.

    Yes it’s definitely been carried/shot. The slide has scratches but overall the finish is in decent shape. Frame is in good condition the feed ramp still looks great (I was reading they wear out on these).
