What's it worth?

I'm thinking about selling this and I don't really know where to start. I believe it's a 1926 Colt 1911.

Can always call them directly.

 

Thanks. It's a 1918!!!!

 

Not 100% on old models, but I wouldn't think more than $800 bucks or so.

 

Really??? I would think it's more than that. This is the original 1911, not the A1.

 

It is decidedly not a collector condition piece, so it doesn't have collector condition value.

Stunning examples can go for huge money, but this is heavily pitted from rust and I don't believe those grips are original.

It's more of an old shooter than a collector weapon, despite being old.

 

I might be intrested in it

 

Ok. Let me get an idea of what it's really worth. I'm trying to scrape some college funds for my kids.
