I am looking for market value information on a M1911 Colt .45 – serial #209XXX, very good to excellent condition with 98% of original bluing intact. I have the officail letter from Colt stating that the gun was purchased by the USMC in 1917 one of 200 on the purchase order – Colt letter. The weapon is fully functional and stills retains it’s original holster, belt and ammo clip with 3 magazines. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we are looking insurance replacement costs. Thank you for your time.
