A I said I own several 911's including 1911's and have read most of the pertinent literature on the early Colt autos including the 1911....but ithey are not the focus of what I collect...So just on that pistol I am not an expert by any means..thats why I didn't dispute his 1927 NM assertion...it was either special order or it was a put together by a gun smith...
Unfortunately if put together by a gun smith it has less value than if by the factory...However the quality is there. I collect as a sideline Pre WW2 Officers Model Target revolvers....they came basically in 38, 32 and 22. They were handfitted guns whose actions are very smooth. I especially like the King Gun works of San Francisco, which were after market modifications. I have a 32 OMT that has the Colt King Super Conversion...the 32 is relativily rare and with the conversion it might be one of just a handfull...yet because King guns aren't readily recognized by main stream collectors the value isn't there.
