Rear sight, grips, trigger, grip safety, mainspring housing are all not stock. Everything else looks stock from what I can see i photos.
Can anybody give me any information on this Colt Series 70, how original or not is it and what might the value of it be?
Thanks for your time.

Looks like a Gold Cup frame with a Gpvernment Model slide. Replacement Colt early style beavertail grip safety and Pachmayr grips, as well as an MMC rear sight.
Value would be speculative on account of the apparent mis-match slide and receiver. Condition looks good IMO but some closer pictures and one of the othe side would help determine a value. My guesstimate would be maybe $700 + or- $100.

If its a Gold Gup frame then the mainspring housing and trigger are correct, but the slide is wrong.

A gold cup trigger should have an adjustment screw near the bottom. I dont see one here.
