I would guess 1400
Found this today!
What ya think its worth? 1918 Colt US property They say it's all correct, parts wise, comes with two tone mag (no letter on floor plate) and a leather US holster. I'll tell you asking price after I hear a few opinions here, thanks!

If the P and H are stamped separately the barrel isn't correct. The first of the H P stamped barrels were stamped horizontally, then vertically, and finally together with a common leg. The common leg version transitioned in 400,000 to 420,000 serial number range.
Otherwise the pistol appears correct, and is one of the "black finish" pistols. The bluing was prone to flaking or wearing off easily, especially in areas where it was handled or came contact with sweaty skin. A coat of oil would do wonders for it's appearance. Depending on the barrel, I would place it in the $1500/1800 range.
A common leg HP barrel.

Thanks so much JohnnyP, as my luck would have it they are apart but anyways they are asking $2,249.00 for it. So doesn't look worth it at all, by everyone's much appreciated opinions here! Thx again!

Great thanks again, I didn't take pic of rifling but it is in good shape. Here's a pic of the R stamp on it.

It seems to me the question would be...are you happy with the condition?
This is a 1917 GM for which I paid $1500.00.
