What is the going rate for a parkerized Ballester Rigaud with 3 mags

**indy_Muaddib** · April 26, 2007, 13:52

around $250 TBH

since they arent interchangeable with factory 1911 parts the value is rather low.

It possibly has been refinished. The Rigaud were originally blued with a very good polish on the metal. The gun will accept 1911 barrels and magazines, and recoil spring and plunger, and barrel bushing.

They are worth $300 to $350 if matching and in working order. It's a very nice pistol. Lots of pistols don't have parts that interchange with 1911A1s, it doesn't mean they are of low value. BTW, more parts than you might think do interchange as mentioned before. One thing to check is the sear. When cocked, can you easily put it on safe or do you have to pull the hammer back a bit to do it? If you have to pull the hammer back more than it's cocked position, it needs a new sear and they about impossible to find.

That is good information. Thank you for posting it. My Ballaster Molina has a very smooth fire control group.

If it be aristocratic in organization, then it seeks to protect the man who is superior only in law against the man who is superior in fact; if it be democratic, then it seeks to protect the man who is inferior in every way against both. One of its primary functions is to regiment men by force, to make them as much alike as possible and as dependent upon one another as possible, to search out and combat originality among them. All it can see in an original idea is potential change, and hence an invasion of its prerogatives. The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are. -H.L. Mencken 1919 Were not that lucky. Last edited by indy_Muaddib; April 26, 2007 at 14:00.
