    Does anyone have any idea of the age or value of a Colt 45 Government Model? The Serial No. is 269XXX-C, and I bought it in May of 1968. I've been told that it has been accurized by Giles.

    Any information would be appreciated!

    You have a put together weapon. Essex frames are postwar. The value of your weapon is in the shooting catagory.
    Value runs about $350-$500.

    Your holster must be brown, not black, as issued in '42 to realize any collector value.
