Can anyone help me, I'm trying to figure out what the value of these two are and which one is worth more. I know that one has lower serial numbers, so its older, but they are both in good shape. Any help is appreciated....

The top older model is in the 300,000 range and the newer model below that is in the 800,000 range

  Hello the 1911 was made 1918 may or may not have seen combat. the slide is in fairly poor condition and someone may have tried to COLD BLUE[V] this will negative affect it's value. Plus we cant tell if it has all the correct vintage parts Barrel ETC the grips are also modern replacements [:(] again will hurt value.The magazine is too early to be correct for this vintage but may be worth a fair amount alone. The 1911A1 is early 1943 and seems to be fairly good condition except the HOKIE white paint in the roll marks [:(] the slide may be miss matched in color I can't really tell by the one or 2 pictures it might be the lighting However again we can't tell if all small parts are original It does not look like it was arsenal rebuilt at a post war time this is a plus . If you remove the firing pin retainer it MAY have the serial number stamped over and under the firing pin hole on the slide if these numbers match [^]+ in not [:(]-
