Value of Gov\'t Model Series 70 ?
I have put a nickel plated Colt Series 70 Gov't Model .45 on layaway. It is without a box or papers. Condition is 90 % or better. It has one slight spot of what was once rust, about the size of a pinhead, and a couple very slight scratches. Otherwise, it's in great condition. Is this worth the $385 I paid? How should I treat the spot (pit) on the slide to keep it from getting larger? I know not to use Hoppes.
