My neighbor is looking to offload a 1918 Colt 1911 S/N 547xxx. It is a government model that appears to have original frame and slide although the slide doesn't have a S/N which I believe was correct for this time period. The barrel is marked with an "S" and "P" which I believe means it is a springfield barrel. The gun has been VERY nicely reblued and basically doesn't have a scratch on it. I haven't pulled the gun apart enough or know enough about the originality of the other components.
He wants $1500 for it which seems little steep to me but I'm looking for feedback from those that may deal more regularly in these types of firearms. I'm not really looking for a "collectors item" as I would like to shoot it very occasionally. I also don't want to spend way more than it's worth. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of it.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
