Re: How much is my 1911 worth??
I'm not sure I could put a price on something passed down like that. I have three guns that belonged to my grandfather, that are worth next to nothing really, but are priceless to me.... I shoot them but none are as sweet looking as that one. They were all his 'hunters' guns

Can't tell you how much it might be worth to a collector.
But here's a reference you might want to read:
http://www.ahffirearms.com/products/AF45AIR.asp
The American Historical Foundation is still in business and still offering the Air Force Commemorative for sale. You'll find it at the site cited above. You'll also find the asking price new is $1995. If you like Commemoratives, look around the site, they have others.

the actual dollar amount that you could expect to receive in the event you wish to sell, would be far less than the near 2k they are currently selling for.
shooting this pistol will not reduce its dollar value.
the auto ordnance 1911s have a unique track record of disassembling themselves during live fire.
since kahr took over, the quality of the pistols has risen, but they still suffer from the previous owners lack of quality assurance.it's only metal, we can out think it....

According to the Blue Book of Gun Values: "The publisher suggests that those people who want more information about American Historical Foundations Commemorative issue firearms contact AHF directly, or visit their website ..." "Additionally, information on most AHF offerings manufactured between 1988 and 1997 can be found in the 20th and earlier editions of the Blue Book of Gun Values."

The closest I got to the service was Air Force ROTC, but I still have a soft spot for the USAF. That's a gorgeous piece. I got to see one just like it that belongs to a dear friend who is a retired AF colonel. Keep it unfired and treasure it as a memento of your uncle.

If you sell that gun the day will come that you will regret it...

Don't shoot it, don't sell it...it's a display piece, and a very nice one-not a shooter.
My Best, Walt
