Hello,
I've just purchased a Colt 1911 45 Cal marked U.S. Army.....U.S. Government. I've checked the serial number and it was made around September 1918. It appears all origional except for the spring. The bluing is about 60% plus with no rust (I guess the bluing they used "Army Black" didn't stand up too well). Any ideas about a ball park figure on the value so I know if I got taken and also how collectable are these compared to the later military models?
V/R,
Scott
