What is value of a gun manufactured by savage arms co utica n y usa pat-nov 21 1905 cal 380 serial 4360b?

Answer 1

This is a .380 ACP Savage model 1907 semi-automatic pistol, of which some six versions were made starting in 1913 and ending in 1920. There was also a .32 ACP version of the model 1907, with about 14 versions made starting in 1908 and ending in 1920. The .380 ACP and .32 ACP model 1907s look almost the same and share many parts, so be careful not to confuse them. The serial number indicates that this is a model 1907-13 Modification #2, made in 1913 or 1914, with about 4,400 made. It is the most common version of the .380 ACP model 1907. Pistol prices vary considerably. Value will depend primarily on the condition of the pistol: is it complete, is the bore is in good shape, does it have an original Savage magazine, are the grips are in good shape, how much of the "blued" finish is left, etc. If yours has some special features (factory engraving or other special options, for example) value increases. Your best best to establish current value is to check the several firearms auction sites on the internet: GunBroker; Auction Arms; and GunsAmerica. Recent (2009) prices on Savage 1907s in .380 ACP range from about $250 to about $1,000, primarily depending on the condition but also on the specific version. Most seem to sell for $300-$450, but it really depends on the condition. Be sure not to confuse the .380 ACP model 1907 with the more common .32 ACP model 1907. Also,Savage model 1907s are often mis-identified as a model 1905 or model 1910, neither of which actually exists. The only Savage automatics are the model 1907, the model 1915, and the model 1917, all of which came in both .32 ACP and .380 ACP. But when researching model 1907s for information or parts (or prices) be sure to also check under "1905" and "1910" as well.
