mine?

new with lock about 650-799 depending on where you pick them up.

Used about with lock 650-700

Used with out lock, well if you can find them usually 700ish.

This was a steal.

you can't have emotions tied into these. I had a list of what i am looking for. and a price point i am willing to pay. When i find one on the list at that price point i will consider buying it.

The valor, and 617 happened to be it. THey also had a sig p225 unfired in there, but wanted 600+ for it. While unfired is great, i want to shoot the snot out of it. So i will stick to my german police trade in price of 350-400.

So browsing the 1911 forums I realized my VBOB's serial number isn't correct to the pistol. VBOBs start with VBXXXCZ. Mine starts with V2xxxCZ.

This makes me think it was a Valor frame. Maybe it was because it was a Blem. I don't know.

Call kieth at dan weeson

2010 was first year of valor.
so keep in mind the serials change. Typically can wesson dates the gun in the serial. usually an upside down y is a blem.

I would think the v2 simply stands for Valor (bobtail) 2012

Yeah saw your post on the other forum. I knew the Y was a blem. The V2 confused me since all i've normally seen were VB.
