Hello Sirs,
I picked up two 1911's at a local pawn shop today. This SA and a 1913 Colt. The best I can tell this SA was made in 1915. The barrel is not original, it's a "Flannery". I have not totally stripped the pistol down yet to see if/how the small parts are marked.
The obvious is that the pistol was not well taken care of. My main attraction to the pistol is the grips. Of course one could speculate as to what the notches were cut for but it sure would have been nice to know who put them in there to get the facts on them.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. It's always nice to know an approximate value. I know that all of the small parts will be a factor in the actual value but just a rough estimate would be appreciated.
Best,
Rob
