    Just bought a Colt 1911 from an estate. Serial number is 569788. Looks really good. Only has a little wear on the high spots, end of barrell, etc. Doesn't look like it's been reworked. I gave $1000 for it. Hope I didn't get taken Any help?

    I hope you didn't get taken, either.

    Problem is, I can't see it from here. You may want to post photos. There are instructions on a sticky near the top of this forum.

    Chuck sent me a link to 2 photos; it appears to be a Colt 1911 with parkerized finish & plastic USGI grips. The photos were cellphone quality, so I couldn't tell any more.

    Serial number 569788 would be a Model 1911 made in 1918 by Colt. If it's been Parkerized?, (can't tell due to the quality of the photos). More then likely it's WW II, U.S. Government arsenal rework. Reworked 1911's such as this would probably be in the $400-$600 range, depending on the originality of the internal parts such as the barrel etc. My 2?.
