I got this gun from friend of mine when working in his gun store. He gave it to me for helping him through hard times. Money he couldn´t give me so he gave me choice to pick up any handgun I want. At that time I was aware that these are rare here in Finland si decided to pick this one. Now I would like to know value of this gun. To be precise it´s made in late 70s or early 80s so it is not those early models made before war. Thanks in advance, MN |

Are you sure about the date of mfgr? Blue Book lists commercial Ace's made 1931-1941 & 1947. Service model Ace's were made 1935-1945. Value is $2,750 on commercial in 100% & $3,000 on Service in 100%. Commercial has a 4-3/4" barrel, Service has a 5" barrel. I'll keep looking. |

Hello Bob OMG, those prices are sky high!!! I wish it was that older model. This just can´t be that old. Finish is about 95- 98%. It has 5 inch barrel. Could you check it by serial#. It is SM16188.

Just liked them more than those new w/ Colt medallion MN |

Ratters Thanks for the info. I kept that gun for sale few months ago and asked that $1000€ but nobody were so hot for it. Got couple of calls from collectors who told 1000€ is too much so I told them this pistol doesn´t ask for food in my safe and decided to keep it. Thanks, MN |
