Colt 1911 A1- I bought from a friend that was moving out of state. He told me he paid $230 for it when he bought it from someone he knew. When I saw the United Statesicon Property markings my mind started to race. What should I offer to be fair to him but not over pay. I asked if he would take $500, he said yep almost be for I finished my offer. That eased my mind that he was very happy with the price and so was I. I looked up the serial number and found it was made in 1924 and also read that would make it the first year for the 1911 A1. I find it interesting that it is marked United States Property with no other markings to show which department it went to. I am new to United States Property 1911's and am trying to learn more about them.
