I saw a heavily used one at a shop in Texas a few months back that was priced at $1000 and it sold.  If yours/your uncles is like new with original box, etc, it should realistically be $1500-2000. BUT since they don't make them anymore and are highly collectable, you really should have a proper appraisal done. One just never knows what little things might make it worth $3500-5000+.

Pictures would help.  The older 'Royal Blue' finish is generally more desirable.

Thanks Dex.Production year was 1978 according to Colt Company.Everything original with extra aftermarket grip but sadly no original box.
