Reeder Custom Guns - Any Idea of Value?

All matching serial numbers, mostly patina with blue in protected areas, some rust pits, but otherwise functional. Pretty good bore and grips.

with a casual glance I would figure between $1000-2000 each. I know that's a large spread but it depends on finding someone who wants them. The 1911 has later A1 features but looks really nice. It would be at the high end, the C&B likely the lower end. But specific nuances could punt both above the upper limits in the right markets. I also have seen some C&B like that go for a little less and figured them an exceptional deal. The 1911 .45's are going high money right now.

Both would fetch top dollar out west at a big well attended gunshow.

A premium but the civilian guns are not cheap! It’s matching so that is a few points toward the positive.

I see some about like that going for over two grand asking price. Check Gunsinternational, some of those boys specialize in both high end clientele and pieces. Things are going sky high too.

I turned down a 90%+ 1886 in .33 Winchester the other day for ONLY $4,000.

The thing is 150 yrs old at least and looks fine mechanically. No boogering of screws, other than the finish gone. The grips look a little suspect. Replaced at some time or refinished. I'm thinking the former. On that piece they should show much character like the rest of the gun.

As this one but in good shooting shape for $1005 years.

Any Idea of Value?

That's a broad subject but to throw a dart

Sorry .. was asking about the 1860 .. I did not specify.

The ones with military markings command

From some high end research from classy joints

My uneducated guess is $700-$1200

Were it mine I'd not go below $1200

I sold one not quite as good looking
