    1918 Swiss 1911 Value (with stock crack\with out stock crack)

    I have ALREADY purchased this gun, but when I did so I had not noticed the crack in the stock at the tang. After cleaning the dirt and crime I noticed the crack (I feel stupid for not noticing it). I have fired the gun and MAN does it shoot nice. Love the gun. My question is what is the general consensus about the value of the gun? Both with the crack and with out.

    It is and all matching gun and the blueing is 95% (at least).

    Any suggestion about what (or what NOT to do) are greatly appreciated. My plan right now (1st is to get more GP11, because I am out) is to leave the gun as is, didn't get worst after shooting. I believe that maybe the gun was fired with VERY loose action screws (they were loose when I checked them) an that is what caused the issue.
