Actually, the gun probably is not worth megabucks, although he was have ruined what value the gun had as a collector's item. Depending on original condition, the gun may not have been worth more than a few hundred. I have a Remington Rand (1917 year made) in 90% condition that is only worth about $1500. That is hardly mega-bucks. If the gun was a Singer, then he really screwed up.
Actually, I can't think of a better thing to do to a 1911 than actually use it. As for ruining history, there are plenty of old 1911s around to reflect that period of history. While that part of history is not preserved, he has inhanced his connection of the present with the past.
