Which MARK I do I have?

[theoldcoot]

Can somebody tell me what I have here? Most of my guns are all SA and I have this one semiauto that I am trying to put a value on for insurance purposes. Looking at the RENE values takes me nowhere. There are just so many options and I don’t know how to ID this piece. All I know for sure is that it is a Mark I and is 1980 vintage. So, just what is this? If you need more or better pictures, just drop me a line and they will be posted. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I'm not sure of the catalog designation, but that's a Mark I 6-7/8 target barrel. The Mark I could also be had with a 5-1/4 bull barrel or a 6-7/8 bull barrel (no taper on the barrel O.D.).

Not sure how much effect it has on the value, but those are not original grips.

It is a later model A-100 frame Mark I target. Often you see these referred to as a "tapered target barrel". It is in great condition based on the photographs posted. The A-100 frame uses magazines with the follower button on the left side of the mag body, like the Mark II versions do. You can use Mark II M-10 magazines in this pistol without any changes to the configuration.

With the 6-7/8" barrel, it is the model T678, the "T" being the designation for "Target" and of course the "678" being the barrel length.

Hey guys, thanks for getting back to me and for all the info. It IS appreciated! Looking at the RENE guide, I assume I could use the value of the "Digit Prefix" or the "A-100 Frame" (they are the same).

It sure is a nice clean looking pistol.
