More specifically , is it more likely to be in a collection or on a want list?
Thanks for the input!

Want IMO unless it's unfired and unmolested. It's worth $1000 ish

Might check the 1911forum and gunbroker to see what theyre listing for and what they're selling for.

Beautiful pistol BTW.

1k is about right from all I've seen.They seem to be a little more popular but the truth is,those 1911 frames wouldn't hold up to the abuse of the 10mm rounds
So they are wall hangers not competition type shooters

Thanks ch139b I may offer this up to a collector and get a new one.

Back to the question asked......
Considering as described, is it more likely to be in a collection or on a want list?
