Thats about what i was thinking it was worth, I figure I will keep the box until I find a matched gun WW2 Colt in its orignal box. The Gov Model cleaned up pretty good with a little Flitz'n. The blue mag doesnt have a mark on it and doesnt look like its ever had a round in it.

The Colt Gov't Model that you got is in itself worth every bit of the $900 that you paid for the whole works, so I think that you did good.
