GBLS Full Steel 1911 A1

[novioman]

Have a boxed full steel GBLS 1911A1. It’s beautifully made, has 2 magazines. This is made to be as close as possible to the real thing. The mags hold 7 rounds like the real pistol. Retail price is £1050 if you can find it in stock.
Sadly no trades as they don’t have the license.
It’s in perfect condition.
What would be a fair price.

It's a tough on isn't it because if you want a full steel 1911 then you'll likely go for a trademarked inokatsu 1911. Aren't they about £500 2nd hand? Whatever they go for the gbls 1911 would have to be similarly priced I think....unless there's a desirability element to the gbls pistol I'm missing here.

Lovely pistols! I really wanted one when they came out.

Have owned both the Inoksatu and GBLS I can definitely say the GBLS is way better made in the way of machining fit and finish. But fully agree the lack of trades is a great shame. I have priced up having full trades added, it would need to be re-cerakoted afterwards, and that would be £245 for the complete job.
I have placed an add asking £800, I don’t honestly expect it will sell, and the price is negotiable, but it wouldn’t be as low as £500.
Thanks for your thoughts, appreciate your comments.
