Colt Identification and Value Help

[CMoney]

Gentlemen,
I am having trouble finding information and value on a Colt 1911. Slide is marked COLT COMMANDO SERIES and LIGHTWEIGHT COMMANDO EDITION. Hogue Grips. Manuel is MKIV/Series 80. But is not listed in the models. I have the box. Local gun dealer with 40 years of experience could not identify and has not had another one like it through the shop.

Thanks in advance

Apparently not worth much more then a run-of-the-mill Colt Commander.
At least nobody thought this one was.

Sounds like a nice gun to have though!

Agreed. A case of parts bin engineering with an OACP slide on a Commander receiver, with roll markings to make it seem something special. No trouble at all for Colt when they got a big enough order to make it worthwhile.

Low serial number make a difference? It's 010. Thanks rcmodel and Jim Watson.

This sounds like one of those "limited runs" of a given set of features, made to fill an order for a large distributor who wanted something unique to sell. Colt did many of these "limited runs" in the 1990s; being a Series 80 is the clue. It still sounds like a perfectly nice gun, but don't overpay for it thinking it is a collectible.
