Fair market value CMP M1911???

[wctriumph]

My Colt. This is right after I bought it 2005. I took it to the range and put 200 rounds through it, had two FTF, no FTE. After that it has never malfunctioned, not once. It shoots to point of aim and while the trigger is nothing to write home about, it works fine for combat type training when at the range. I have had a few others before and since, I will keep my Colt. I have one Colt mag and three Wilson Combat, all work just fine. Round count is not much, maybe 3500.

My Colt.

Nothing wrong with that. My wife bought me a blue enhanced Colt for Valentine's day one year. From Dave's Guns in Parker so it was a while back. Late 90s I believe.

1911 is still my favorite handgun to shoot. You fellas have some nice examples.

I like 1911s too, the MC Operator is my favorite. I don't have any collectibles though, I do admire them at the Collector's Show in May.

Here is my friend's collectible 1911. I know nothing about it except that it's very gold, and very shiny.

Very nice!!! Was briefly interested in an M45 but they are very collectible!

Only took me an hour of looking. Here's my war bring back gun, I assume from Vietnam.

With no rebuild marks (that I can see) that might be even more interesting. I thought most of the M1911A1s were rebuilt going into VN.

There are guys on the 1911 boards that know everything and could probably tell you.

Slides below Colt serial 11400001-1145000 should be stamped with the serial under the firing pin plate. Rebuilt guns are seldom numbers matching.

I had to look up the number again, it is 164xxxx. Websites say 1944 production I guess.

Could be original then if there are no arsenal rebuild stamps and can't exclude mismatched parts.

Nice! 3 different war-time periods represented right there.

That Tet gun is way outta my league.
