I am fairly new to here and 1911's in general. I know enough to get my way around

What I am looking for is to find a price (or estimate) on what I would have to spend on an original 1911A1 (by that meaning one that was issued during WW2). I would love to have one. It is realistic? Are they to be found or is noone selling them due to sentiment/collectability? Thanks for any help on this matter

Check these sites:

Usually, I've seen WWII 1911s going for $750 to $1000 or so, depending on the condition.

Hope this helps.

They are found for sale all the time, I'd say at least two or three a month on each online auction site alone. Problem is, there they usually fetch more than top dollar because so many folks are bidding on them at once. A typical WW2 Colt M1911A1 will bring as much as $1400, even more if it's a rare bird of some sort.

BTW I'm moving this thread to the USGI forum.
