Finding a gunsmith that can work on a Colt Model 1917 is much harder than finding onexwho can work on a S&W Model 1917, and they are not common.

Saw one at the shop. Bluing mostly brown, lots of wear. Lock up solid when trigger pressed and held back. Bore ok. 45acp, a hair under $600. Opinions?
A solid .45 ACP gun is perfectly reasonable in the $500-600 range.Either way, it should make a good shooter.
