Is there any real collector value to a M1911 (1918 Colt) with no finish left on it? I have one that someone has taken steel wool/sandpaper to what I can only assume was surface rust and removed the finish. Gun appears to be all correct M1911 parts except the barrel (WW II). I use the piece as a shooter. The pistol was found in a secret compartment in an old desk (wish it could tell us where and why). Thinking of either parkerizing it or rebluing it. Park is a much cheaper way to go as it is free.
