Hello Sir,
I have a Colt 1911 in 38 super that is in good condition with some holster wear. It has two Colt mags stamped COLT Super 38 Auto. The serial number is 70XXX which dates to 1948. It was purchase new by a Marine and kept in holster for 40 plus years. I aquired it last year and I am interested in its value. I am not convinced I should sell it unless the price was considerably more than I purchased it for. I know that it has been fired but not very much and the wear is mostly from being stored in holster. I am including several pics to help your estimate. There does not appear to be any rusting and the discoloration in the pics is from the oil that the gun was stored in.
Thanks
Brian
