I am seeking some opinions as to the approx value of this pistol, thinking about moving it. It is a 1945 Colt M1911A1, 2.29 mil serial. Almost everything is correct late war Colt parts, except the blued barrel bushing and ribbed slide release, which I believe is an Ithaca/Rem Rand part. Pistol has been reparked, not sure by who, but they did an excellent job, looks like arsenal repark. There are no arsenal markings though. Bore is exceptional, no frosting or pitting, sharp rifling and bright shine. Grip panels are like new. Parked magazine has an S on the top of the toe, and C-S on the bottom of the toe. The gun is an easy 95%+ condition, although I am aware that the refinish detracts from the value. I am pretty good with the value of original finish guns, but not so much with refinished examples. Any help with a ballpark value would be very helpful. TIA!!

  You have a CLEAN Military 1911A1 ALBEIT refinished. I however do not believe it was done at a military Arsenal nornmally if done by the military it will have arsenal rework stamp. I would say this pistol would bring between $1000.00 and $1500.00 depending on who is looking at it and if they think it is or is not military done in the refinish. YMMV

  I would expect it to sell in the $800-1,000 range.
