Hi guys, I was speaking with my neighbor and he said that he has ran across a colt 1911-a1 that is for sale. We spoke for a bit about it in passing a few days ago. Tonight, we actually talked about it. He doesn't know a whole lot about the gun but he is considering buying it. He's an old timer but a great guy. He sent me a few photos via email and I told him that I would ask everyone's opinion on the value. Here are the photos. The serial number is 2348026 I believe. Apparently the serial numbers match on the frame and the slide. He also told me that the barrel had the serial number engraved on it (I have no idea if that is normal or not). It looks to me like it may have been re-blued at some point but I really don't know. I haven't seen it in person. I am also not sure if the grips are original. I am not really sure how to date these either. Nonetheless, here are the photos. Feel free to enlighten me.
