The value of these pistols today starts at $250 for shooting grade models in good condition to $700 for minty grades with a little extra green for the older models. The final models, marked “High Standard H-D Military” are the most common, with 150,000 produced from 1946-55. If marked “High Standard Model H-D USA” they are of the 44,000 made from 1943 to 1946 for the military (these should also have a parkerized finish). Those 6900 pistols marked simply “High Standard H-D” were made between1940 to 1942. High Standard H-D pistol markings can be used to easily determine the guns year of manufacture (and price point). They are an affordable gun and popular with collectors at all levels. In 1955, production of the H-D ceased and it was replaced by the very similar Olympic series, which in turn was itself replaced by the Victor.

In the trial, the Soviets produced a silenced Hi-Standard model USA-HD caliber.
