I am only recently a 1911 fan. A longtime friend of the family passed away and among his things was a 1911 originally built in 1918. Sometime in the 40s or 50s it was totally rebuilt by a military armorer with arsenal parts. It was also given a reblue comparable to the high bluing from Colt.
It may come up for sale by a family member and I am curious as to a value? If it were totally 1918 original, it would be one thing but with the reblue and replacement parts, I am lost as to value.
If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know. It would be a good reminder of a good friend.
