Round Three CMP 1911 Sale

[eddiememphis]

As an investment, do these increase in value, as opposed to a new firearm which tends to hold its value?

I only see a couple on Gunbroker and they are around $1300.

I would imagine that a true USGI 1911 is going to continue to increase in value while your run of the mill 1911 may or may not retain it's original value. How much it goes up in value will be determined by what it is that you receive, some are rarer than others.

Here's one that currently at $3200.. the guy just added some cheap surplus accessories. The guy only paid $1k for it unless he bought it through one of the collectors auctions the CMP has on some of the rarest models.

You'll have to watch this one to see where it ends up at. No reserve penny start auctions tend to end up going for big $$ at the very end of the auction period:
