Would you pay more for an M-1 Garand with DCM paperwork?
I have a friend who’s brother has died and left him with an M-1 Garand rifle that was purchased through the DCM. He has asked me if the DCM paper work for the rifle increased the rifle’s value or is it just an added ‘touch’ to the rifles history. The rifle is a typical Springfield rebuild and purchased back when they sold for around $100 through the DCM. ( late 70’s early 80’s ? )
The paper work does not do much for me however some people like that sort of thing. What's your thoughts? I told him I would have a good idea of the paper work's value in a few day's.
By the way, the rifle will be for sale, but I have no idea as to it's condition or his asking price. Location is Iowa.
