Can't speak for the rest but a P-51 is a richmans toy. I think they go for a million or more these days.

Do you know what they cost at the time? Cause then you could just inflation adjust the prices yourself, based on how much the price of other goods have gone up since then. (Like, if bread costs 10 times as much as it did then, just multiply the cost of each weapon by ten). That would give you a rough estimate at any rate.

all would be historical items on todays market, even a newly built P-51 goes for more than a million dollars.

Colt 1911s are being mass produced to this day, albeit with better material technology, how authentic do you want the orced items to be?
