would need a serial number to answer the question.....................
The US Army were issued the Model 1911 Colt .45 automatic pistol.
The Colt M1911 (which also saw service in the First World War) has an excellent reputation behind it. Units of MARSOC still use variants of it to this day.
It's subjective, and a matter of opinion. Some people will swear by the Colt M1911 all day long, others praise Kimber (in spite of their use of MIM internals). Personally, I'm partial to the Sig P220.
M1A1 Thompson, Colt 1911, M1A1 Grand, and M1A1 Carbines (For Foot Solders)
American soldiers used the M1 Garand rifle, the M1 Carbine, the BAR rifle, the Thompson Machine Gun, the Colt M1911 pistol, the M3 'grease gun' and the M1903 Springfield sniper rifle.
prices vary a great deal. I would offer $950 if in ex. cond. First of all your 1911 was made in 1912 by Colt or Remington. It probably saw service in WW1. If your pistol is described correctly I would guess a value between $2500 and $3000. I say that amount because the 1911 is a prime military item wanted on the military market to day.....The better the condition, the better the price...
