Rem UMC 1911 Value... photos added
So I've got an old Remington UMC .45 auto that has the AA stamp for Augusta Arsenal refinish and United States Property stamp in correct position, 5-digit serial number. It exhibits a lovely grey to greenish patina when held in bright sunlight. All the parts are original, everything correct on it. The gun was purchased from a USMC veteran of the Pacific Theater who was at Guadalcanal and Okinawa. Suffice it to say, it is in fantastic shape and seller included Boyt holster w/ web belt.
I'll try to add photos later, but based on description is this a $2000 to $3000 pistol or am I thinking too high? Looking to trade it for early 40s Colt service pistol that is 95% or better. The Boyt flap holster w/ belt and mag pouch, and canteen aren't on the table (don't see as many fine original flap holsters these days).
Hit me w/ your thoughts, thanks!
