My Aunt gave me a pocket pistol that had belonged to her sister. After some research, it appears to be a Colt 1908 "Vest Pocket" .25 Automatic Pistol. According to this guy, it was manufactured in 1921. It is in fair condition, (see photo) so I have no idea of what it's value is. I estimate somewhere between $200 and $400. Does anyone have any idea what it could be worth?
There's one being bid on at gunbroker.com for $275 so far, but it's not hit the reserve price. At this site: http://www.armchairgunshow.com/EarlyCA.html they offering one for $425, so I guess it could go for anywhere from $300 to $500...

I wouldn't be surprised if you could get $500 for it, and maybe as much as $600 once the economy improves. If you just want to sell it quickley you could certainly get $300 sometime this month.
