US&S 1911 value

[PD Sgt.]

I would also recommend going to the 1911forum and posting any pictures you may have in their USGI section. There are some very keen eyes over there that know just what to look for and may be able to offer guidance.

The frame and slide are correct. I do plan on checking everything before I buy. My question is IF the barrel, hammer, barrel bushing, trigger, sights and finish hasn't been touched would it be worth 2k In 90% condition?
I do wish I had pictures to post, but I only saw the gun for about a minute.

Easily worth 2k. I have been out of collecting military 1911's for almost 10 years but they were going for $3500-$4000 in the heyday for an all-original parts and finish US&S. Track down a copy of Charles Clawson's Collector's Guide to Colt .45 Service Pistols, there are a number of iterations, I believe the 'Third Edition' is most current.

Good luck.

Think more like 10K if it's 90%. US&S are the rarest of WW2 1911's. If you can get it for 2K buy it and run!!!!!

Friend or not, I would advise the seller if the price is way too low.

Actually singer is the rarest usgi with 500 made union switch made 55000 and if it is a us&s frame and slide that is worth 2k no problem as long as it is not refinished look for rebuild markings when you get into this high end stuff one mis matched part can take value from 5000 to 800 fast
