Answer 1

Your pistol was made by Colt in 1918.It should be polished blue and be marked UNITED STATES PROPERTY on the frame.To give you a value,I would need pictures and lots more info (barrel,grips etc.).If it is blued,in half way good condition, and has all the correct parts,minimum of $1,000 to a collector.For more info ,go to gunbroker.com.You can go to ask the experts and post pictures.You can also go to advanced search and go back 90 days and see what similar 1911s have sold for.I am a collector but am not in the same place as my reference books.If I can be of more help,email me.

Answer 2

It is not possible to answer this question without first knowing what condition the pistol is in. Many hundreds of dollars in pristine condition with accesories, or, if it's all rusted then you have a very big paper-weight.

The gun is in great shape. It has the clip and my dad, who used to shoot at Camp Perry back in the 60's, used this gun for his 45 caliber competition when competing for Washington state at The World Championships. It has his hand made custom fit rosewood grips and has been stored for years.

The serial number shows it was produced in the 1918 - 1919 series.
