I inherited my Grandfathers Colt 1911 US Army a few years back. I have been told it was made in 1916. It has probably 80% blueing remaining, mainly just from holster wear. When I disassembled the pistol to clean, it appears to have been fired very little. The internals have very little or no wear. The stocks have a few dents and dings, but overall in nice shape. Can anyone give just an approximate value? My other question is, should I go ahead and shoot it, and if so would a trigger job detract from it's value? The trigger pull on it is very heavy compared to some of my other 1911's. Thanks for any advise.
