  Can someone please help me with the Ball Park value of an old, WW1 era, 1911. The frame is stamped US Army Property. The slide has Colts Patent Firearms with patent dates of April 20 97, Spetember 9, 02, December 19, 05, February 14 11, August 19, 13.
  
  It has the flat mainspring housing with the lanyard loop. Wood grips with the diamond around the screw.
  
  The barrel and bushing have been replaced with what looks to be a Series 70 bushing and barrel.
  
  Serial number appears to be four didgits 48XX with two II struck later the II appears to be slightly larger and not directly in line with the four didgits.
  
  Thanks any help appreciated.

  DEPENDS ON THE BUYER AND WHAT HE OR SHE IS WILLING TO PAY FOR IT.
  
  IF IT SHOOTS AND IT IS THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE IT MINIMUM OF $ 400.00 AND WHAT EVER YOU CAN GET FOR IT ABOVE THAT. INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR REPLACEMENT WILL INCREASE IT PROBABLY ANOTHER $ 100.00. BOX OR ORIG SALES RECEIPT , PAPERS ETC WILL ADD SOME BUT NOT TOO MUCH

  Your Colt NIB is worth about $600.00 per the Standard Catalog.

  Realistically, if it is in NIB condition, with original box, it is more like $900 as a starting point. If the box is the early two-piece style, maybe 10% more.

  Where you can't import them, like California, a collector will pay the most. But you'd have to be establishing residency.
  
  "Oh yeah, chambered for 9MM." That's one important afterthought.[:D]
