Around my neck of the woods paulm a 1917 depending on shape goes between $650 to $800 and it's possible to make a swap at the gunshows. M1icon's at te CMPicon go from $500 to a little over a grand. I have seen them for $1200 to $1500 depending on shape or someones fantasy of it's real worth. I picked up an H&R service grade at the North store a couple weeks back for $600. I've seen rifles not near as nice for $800 to $1200 at shows.
