So I recently won a Brand New 2010 Mathews Monster XLR8 Bow with a Mathews T5 quiver and Downforce sight at a Friends of the NRA banquet. But dont be jealous just yet, anyone who attends these yearly functions knows that it is easy to spend hundreds of dollars (for the cause) in raffles. I wanted to sell it to help pay for some of my fun for the night. Retail its about $1200 for everything, but I'd be happy with $850.......
So I listed it in the local classifieds for $850 obo or partial/straight firearm trades. For straight trades I put that they must be in my favor, hopeing to get a colt python or something along those lines. Money talks but I love my guns.....
I got a call from a gentleman earlier tonight who has a Colt 1911. He sent me a couple of pictures, and now I have to decide if its worth me to do the trade, and if so if its a deal or mearly something I want for somethings he wants. He said it is a Govt. 1911 with combat grips and that it was made in the 1970's. It come with the standard mag, and another that is +1. He said that its in VG condition. This isnt something a desperately want, but I know that unlike guns, a bows value will only go down. I have a Kimber Pro Cary, and a Springfield Mil Spec 1911 so I wouldnt have a problem selling it in place of the bow if it wasnt anything special, but still worth it to do the trade.

After checking gunbroker and other forums, Ive concluded that theres alot more I need to know about this model as there are a bunch of Colt 1911 variants that can be bought from $700-2000. Obviously I wouldnt do a straight trade for a gun that I can sell for $700, and I am hoping it is one that is worth $900+, and I'd like to know that it isnt one that I'd be struggling to find someone to buy for $500
Can someone please help me out find out which variant it is and what realistic value it is?
Thankyou in advance for your time and help
