Just out of curiosity, at a show like this, what does a WW2/Korea vintage 1911A1 go for these days in fair/good condition?
I see what some dealers are charging, but I haven't been to a big show since the economy went downhill.
Thanks.
(btw, what is Wyandotte like these days? I was born there about a million years ago.)

The M1911A1's that I saw were Colt, Ithaca and Remington Rand's. They went from $1500 to $7500, most were $2000, depending on condition, originality and rarity. A Singer sold at auction for $167k!
Wyandotte is still the same, but with MI being "ground zero" in this recession/depression, it's taken a savage beating. Most of our small businesses are gone. Home are worth less than 50% of what they were worth in 2006 and people are hunkered down, trying to survive. I can see 4 foreclosed properties from my backyard... Very depressing. IWe would leave if we could, but we're stuck with our house...
