I know nothing about 1911's. But today, a neighbor asked me if I wanted to buy his 1911. I walked over and he had a new in box Colt Combat Elite (MK IV Series 80) two tone black and stainless. It has never been fired. I told me that last year he updated the sights to trijicon night sights because he was going to give the gun to his son. Anyways, it was manufactured in 1987 based on the serial number, never fired, original box and paperwork that hasn't even been opened and I have the original sights.
He mentioned that he thought this gun was a limited production gun....something like 500 made. Anyways I paid $500 and I know older 1911 are worth some money but I don't think late 80s is old. I did a brief google search but other guns like this had a different hammer and had stainless parts on them instead of black. Any ideas if this gun is special in any way? Is it worth anything? Is it a legit limited production gun?
