I have the opportunity to pick up a Type IV Red Eagle Standard Auto. SN 9117. The problem is condition. This one is mayhbe 50% with significant pitting. My question, is it worth the $175 price tag considering it's rarity? Thanks!

Only if you just GOTTA have a Type IV Red Eagle.
I s'pose you can always move it along if you later find another, better one to replace it.
Not my cup of tea, however.

YEP the gun that made STURM RUGER.....and nobody cares.....sad but true....buy it and restore it then keep a piece of history....all for around $400 total.....don't ya wish you could buy a 1st maybe 2nd year Colt for $175 :lol: :lol: :lol: JMO....YMMV....RR.
The difference is, lots of folks WOULD PAY $175 for a "beater" old Colt, and do so gladly.
:roll:

IF anyone here is interested, I could pick it up and ship it to them and just cover initial cost and shipping........ It's not in my interest area either, just sayin'.

Looking forward to getting this one. I have a MKI from about 1958 that my Granddad bought new, so I have an interest in the early ones. They also seem to be somewhat affordable....which is a plus!
RR, sent you a PM.
