Too bad it has been refinished.
That price is reasonable for a horizontal H P barrel......
Mike I think you are a little low.....
IMO... that price estimate is low for a Navy variant.
Pictures would help.... and of course information regarding originality and correctness.
I have a 98-99% original '42 Navy in my collection that I know what the value range should be.
How do you know it's not a Bubba job ??? Arsenal rebuilds were Parkerized, not re-blues..... sounds like it has been in the hands of someone who is a compotent gunsmith/armorer. BTW, Bubba gets so...
At one time I had a Canadian WWI contract Colt 1911 #C5096, and a Canadian WWII contract Colt M1911A1 #931559 in my collection. They both now reside at the Museum of the Regiments in Calgary,...
I will commemorate the birthday of the M1911 by buying another first year production 1912 M1911 for my collection. As mentioned earlier, commemorative examples are very poor investments, with zero...

I try and pay particular attention to the Canadian variations...... but have never seen a C broad arrow there before. Quite interesting to say the least.
I am familiar with the internal parts..... but just because you did strip it, does that automatically mean he did or didn't....
Scott Meadows books are well respected as well as the Clawson series.
Check the back of Scott Meadows new book. He has pictures of military ammo which would probably help narrow it down.
It would appear the box you have pictured has been labeled twice ?????
About the sum of its parts.... appx. $700.-
What makes you think he didn't ....?
The upcoming Julia Auction Singer seems to have potential........
Two tone finish..... are you referring to a Parkerized frame and Parko-Lubrite slide....??? Or an actual color difference ??????
Neither one.... movce on and find a collectible example you can be happy with.
