Colt Prices

 I was just watching a video over at C&Rsenal on the Colt 1911 and they showed this interesting graphic. on prices from October 1916


Fifteen dollars per pistol, with mags at fifty cents.  I'll take a dozen, please, with a hundred spare mags.

That would have set you back three twenty dollar gold pieces and a half eagle. Todays value -$6592. Money then is not the same as money now.
If only you could have kept those double eagles away from the government.

That's the bulk order price.

Commercially they were $21 and $0.75 for mags.
