I was considering putting my 1911A1 up for sale, and I was wondering if I could get some input as to value/price. It's a 1945 Ithaca GI frame/parts with a military Colt slide (SA arsenal rebuild). Some pitting on the frame, slide is in good shape. It's currently park'd, and wearing the original WWII grips. The slide has aftermarket non adjustable sights:mad: . Also the trigger has been replaced with a commercial piece. Occasionally stovepipes or fails to go into battery ( never looked into it), however it does have an 18# wolff recoil spring. Comes with 4 Shooting Star 8rd mags with base pads. I'll see if I can get a pic up.
Thanks

Really hard to evaluate without some pics. But it's gotta be worth as much as a brand new Norc, even if it's a USGI "mix-master" 1911A-1 pistol.
 
Here's the best I can do for pics without digging out my camera cable. This is when it was in-the-white before parkerizing, so it actually shows quite a bit of detail. It was park'd a nice dark grey shortly after these pics were taken. Turned out pretty nice. I did some more research and it's an arsenal rebuild. with the "SA" stamp on the right frame side in front of the slide stop, and a "P" in front of the rear sight on the slide, meaning it's a military slide. You can also just barely make out the "FJA" inspection mark on the left side. You can only see the "F" in the photo, but I can just see a hint of the other 2 letters.
