1911 value assesment
Whats the best way to get a custom built 1911's value assessed?
Pick a reasonable number. Multiply it by your year of birth. Add 20%.
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

I would start with the base. was it custom built on an already existing model or was it from the frame up?
Frame Up. Will take pics tonight
There's only one way to assess an item's value, and that is to hold an auction. I'll give you $75, sight unseen.
If an unknown gunsmith, its worth nothing more than a used .45. If a known gunsmith with a reputation, then it might be worth a quarter of what was put into it, if you are lucky.
People who think they can get back what they invested in a "custom" 1911 are sadly mistaken. And those 1911's sit in the gun store cabinet for years.
