This should help you a little. It will, in turn, help us a little. It kinda sounds like you might be looking at a Mil-spec and a Loaded? Am I right? $550 isn't the greatest deal for a used mil-spec, but it's a good deal for a used Loaded.
Loaded: Novak sights Commander Hammer Beavertail grip safety Extended thumb safety Lowered and flared ejection port Slanted rear cocking serrations Slanted Front cocking serrations Marked "Model 1911-A1 over Cal .45" on left side. Milspec: Tall GI style sights GI Spur hammer GI grip safety GI thumb safety Lowered and flared ejection port Fine slanted rear cocking serrations only Marked "Model 1911-A1" over "Cal .45" on left side GI: Tiny GI sights GI spur hammer GI grip safety GI thumb safety Original high ejection port Vertical fine rear cocking serrations only Marked "Model 1911-A1" only on left side.
