A guy who works with a friend of mine has a Colt full size 1911 for sale. It is a Series 80 Colt MK IV Gold Cup National Match. It is in mint condition, actually looks brand new, and has either a polished nickel or stainless finish. It looks like the sights are adjustable Novak style, it has an oversize round mag release button, a deluxe beavertail safety, the type that covers your hand so the hammer will not come back and hit or pinch your skin, adjustable trigger, original Colt National Match Mag with a small C and S on one end, and a Wilson Combat mag. The beavertail safety has a mirror finish as does the floor plate on the Colt mag. The weapon is tight as hell and like i said, from the looks of it has seen Very little use.The serial number is S2XXXE.The guy is asking $800.00 for the weapon, but i'm not that familiar with these type of weapons. I told my friend i'd try and find out it's value since he's trying to help the guy sell it. Any opinions or input would be graetly appreciated.

I WANT TO APOLIGIZE FOR THE MULTIPLE TOPICS. WHEN I CLICKED "SUBMIT" I GOT A SITE NOT AVAILABLE SCREEN WHICH TOLD ME TO CLICK RELOAD. THIS HAPPEN TWICE AND NOW I REALIZE THEY WERE BEING POSTED WHEN RELOAD WAS CLICKED. RULE VIOLATION WAS NOT INTENTIONAL.

Stainless Gold Cup National Match

Grading 100% 98% 95% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10%
 ..........$950 $775 $600                  

Last MSR was $1,003.
Add $70 for "Ultimate" bright stainless steel finish.
Add 10% for NIB condition.


After that, you have to add for some of the non original goodies that have been put on it.

I'll jump in the pot with SGB, $800 sounds fair.  Possibly my numbers will give you some more help.
