I was asked to make an offer on this 1918 M1911. Does it appear original and correct? What is a current fair value?

TIA Elliot

Thank you very much CJS57, I would like an original instead of the repro 01918.

Repo or original...Still made by Colt..!

There won't be any more originals, but Colt can keep turning out the repros. On this one the quality of finish had dropped from previous Model 1911 production as Ordnance was rushing Colt to turn out as many pistols as possible. Even in hurry up mode they were beautifully finished.

Wow JohnnyP, that is a beauty. Thank you for posting the picture.

Elliot,I think $2000 is fair but they are all over the board here.Paul
