My FIL left a Mitchell Arms Company 45lc in nickel finish after his passing. Perfect condition with gun belt full of plated 45s. I have never heard of Mitchell, it doesn't have a transfer bar so it's definately a few years old. Are these quality firearms? It's not for sale but would like a general idea of value. I would rate it between 95-100% condition.
 
From what I understand, Mitchel was strictly an importer not a manufacturer. Supposedly, his SAAs were made by Uberti.
 
Must be the Mitchell Arms that took over the production of High Standards for a while.

From what I understand, Mitchell didn't take over High Standard. The owner bounced around from Colt to High Standard, then his own company then prison (tax evasion, I think).
 
google is your friend!
"Mitchell Arms manufactured High Standard marked pistols during 1993-94. Due to litigation, the High Standard logo was dropped in 1994, and High Standard model nomenclature was dropped in 1996. These guns feature push button barrel takedown and usually, a choice between stainless steel or royal blue steel construction. Mitchell Arms is not responsible for the older High Standard pistols manufactured in New Haven and East Hartford, CT, even though Mitchell parts are interchangeable with original High Standard pistols."

I used to have a Mitchell Arms SAA in 45 Colt. Never did fire it, but I bought it as a decoration really. I had been given a Bianchi John Wayne Holster/gunbelt, and I wanted the gun for the holster.

The one I had appeared to be well made. I wish I had (1) fired it, and (2) kept it.
 
I have a matched pair of Mitchell single actions. Both .45 Colt and both nickel-plated 4 3/4in barrels . They ride in a black double holster set from Black Hills Leather . Mine are unfired and made by Uberti . Compared to other Uberti importers , I don't believe there are many of these around .
