Hi,
I am looking to trade for this handgun but am not sure of the value.

I am told it is SA 45 GI Champion 1911.  However, I am not able to find a single picture of this model with the silver slide and black frame.  
Is is worth 650 asking price?  

Thank you for all the help in advance.

Did they make a GI Champion in Stainless??  That looks more like a Cerakote (or similar) type finish, not actual stainless.  The sights have been replaced too.

I know nothing about SA handguns, that is why I was asking.  All of the pictures I have looked at in the last few days, I could not find a single one that looked like the pictures I posted.   And most of the GI models I found are little less than what the seller is asking for it.

Thank you for the help

Hard to tell from the pictures, however it would appear that slide is coated. Certainly some of the parts have been coated (guess). Added a potential arched mainspring housing.  With all that work I would be suspect of other parts inside the frame.



Can the seller give you the SA model number from the box (assuming they have it)? Easier to back track from there.  If you can get the serial, you could call SA and track it that way most likely.

I decided to pass on the trade, since the owner is not willing to tell me any more than he is the second owner and he got it for 800.

Thank you for your help,
