I found an old Colt commercial model 1911a1 for sale. The serial number (C131xxx) indicates that it was made in 1924, and it looks as though only 5000 were made that year. It is all there mechanically, and does not appear to have been fired much. The slide to frame fit is good and the locking lugs are nice and square. The grips are not original and the bluing is in the 80% range. There is no rust or pitting, and looks to be in nice overall shape.
How much do you guys think that this 1911 is worth. I know that it’s hard to tell with out pictures, but I am not really familiar with the commercial models.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
