Loy - I couldn't tell ya which is more valuable, or which type has the fewer number made. I believe that mine is from an early run, and the market complained so much about the Colt's address and the missing USP rollmark, that it was changed. So, I don't know. I'd guess that my style has the fewer total production numbers, and might be a little more "collectable", but I think that your style has a higher "cool factor". JMHO.
And does that pistol have wood grips? Mine are plastic.

I hear ya, but I'm not selling mine anyway. I did take that ugly trigger off and put in a WWII vintage M1911A1 trigger, looks MUCH better now!

Colt's M1911A1 reissue pistols with a serial number beginning with WK are the first run production. Pistols with WMK serial numbers are Colt's atempt to make it more right.
I saw one of the carbonia blue pistols for sale today for 800 dollars, still in box with accessories. A deal?
Hell yes that's a deal! You'd better go back and get it! Those are out of production, they promised a limited run of the WMK suffix series and stopped when they hit the target number. Then they started in making the WWI numbered 1911's with the "black" finish, which are still in production.
