    WW1 Rem. UMC 1911 question

    Local gun shop has a reblued WW1 Rem. for sale. Seems to be mostly original parts. Will get a closer look tommorow. They are asking $1900. Is this worth pursuing? Any thoughts? Yes I know more details are needed but you have to start somewhere.
    Let me put it this way, for $1900 bucks what should I expect?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    In my book a Rem-Umc that is refinished better be all correct as far as parts go and be redone in such a way that it looks like it just came from the factory. I, personally would not want a refinished pistol but if it's OK with you then you'll have to make up your mind what it's worth to you. I think $1900 is kinda high....IMO

    If I saw an arsenal refinished 1911 with that nice greenish park, I'd be willing to pay $1,000-1,200. A commercially reblued one would be worth several hundred less than that to me.
