Colt 1911A1 Value

[Scott Gahimer]

Late Colt stocks have wide rings around the holes. Your narrow ring stocks probably have a K and a star on the back sides, which would indicate they were made by Keyes Fibre for a Remington Rand, Ithaca or US&S pistol.

What does the top of your hammer look like? Serrated or checkered? A photo would help. And yes, your magazine is incorrect for the pistol as manufactured, but it may have been with the pistol for a long time.

How is your barrel marked? What does your mainspring housing look like? Photos would help.

Thanks. Your MSH is correct and your hammer may be correct as well. Some late 1944 and 1945 Colt pistols had hammers made by Gray Mfg.

Late Ithaca pistos typically have the serrated hammers, but we don't see too many Colts with that hammer. Further inspection of your pistol would be required to determine whether the hammer is likely original or not.
