I'm looking at a 1942 1911A1 WB Colt
Heres the story:
It's a matching numbers 1942 U.S.iconP. marked Colt 1911a1 with W.B. inspection mark .
All the parts (trigger, hammer, sights, mainspring housing, barrel, grips, etc.) are correct, and I believe are original. The only part I'm not sure of is the barrel bushing.
The owner claimed he got it from his grandfather who carried it late in WWII/Korea as a Navy officer.
After the grandfather passed away and the kid/bubba got hold of it, he decided to would do a krylon 're-finish' job.Looks like he actually sandblasted the finish off then spraypainted the darn thing
I realize it has no collector value now but I thought I would like to bring this warhorse back.
Thought I would repark it and shoot her.
So after I get her reparked what would she be worth?
I always wanted a WWII 1911 but I just dont want to get upsidedown on this one
Thank guys
