  The serial No. per Clawson was manufactured in 1913.
  You must give a definitive condition and origanilty of parts.
  What percantage of the original blue remains? Pitting? Stocks/grip
  condition, Original Two-tone magazine? Bore condition and stamps.
  If in the family for 85 years-value is priceless. A photo would help.
  A letter from Colt-expensive-would tell you something but ....

  Best of luck. 101

  Your Colt M1911 was made:
  
  Colt: S/N 450,000 to 629,500 = Oct. 24, 1918 to April 10, 1919
  
  As 101Airborne says, we'll need to know it's condition before we can value it.

  Interesting about the serial number. Frankly, there's nothing anyone can do with the full serial number. I understand privacy issues, but the reality is that if you're talking about a firearm that you own in the first place, that's all that "the man" may need to know. I guess I am not sure what harm can befall someone who releases the serial number.
