    He should have taken the 1K and sold then IMO.

    It's not original, it's not 'special' and without the serial number we don't know the manufacturer.

    Sounds more like a $500 'mix master' to me.

    I suggest the slide with the Patent dates on it are from a 1911 (not a 1911A1) and the frame if stamped 'M1911A1' that indicates the parts don't match.

    WB for Waldemar Boberg, Odnance inspector at Colt early WWII.
    Even an Arsenal rework would be "worth" a grand these days, but a commercial reblue pretty well knocks out collector interest and dollar value.

    According to my reference, this SN was manufactured by Colt, in 1941. Prior to Pearl Harbor. If the slide is original to the frame? It would have had a much better finish, than later made wartime guns. The commercial refinishing, really hurts the value on something like this.






    EDIT #1,

    From more research 793,6XX. Was shipped from Colt, with a Parkerized finish. And slide was serial numbered to the frame. With the serial number. located underneath the firing pin retainer.
