100-1000 if factory original
100-800 usd
made by Remington Rand in 1943. May have been on lend lease to Briton during the war
probably made by Remington in 1919. the chrome plating cuts your value by about 30-40%....................the actual value depends on overall condition.
Danger,Do not attempt this!.
Almost certainly, no. The majority of the Colt Gov. Models are chambered for 45 ACP. You may have one of the few chambered for .38 Super (or possibly 38 AMU). At any rate, the barrel and/or slide will be marked. If you are still unsure, consult a local gunsmith.

This is the response I got from a Blue Book editor regarding the Silver Star. Much of what he shared I did not include, just the value. Pretty close to a standard Govt Model Series 80. Of course, your mileage may vary. The Colt's Silver Star MKIV Series 80 in bright stainless is not in our database. Colt's issued 1000 of this special edition during 1984, and it has a current retail value in the $900-$1,100 range.
Any Colt Goverment model that was made for the military prior to World War I will bring substantial money.I know that these were not issued with extra barrels,but if the holster dates from the gun,s initial issue you can expect a price range from 1,000.00 dollars to maybe 2,000.00 dollars from today,s collectors depending on the righ markings(U.S.goverment property)Model of 1911,and good overall condition of the pistol.
No, it isn't. You won't get proper headspacing, and the end result could be catastrophic.
