Some 1911 Military pistols that were brought home by GIs, were subsequently returned to the Colt factory by their owners for repair or re-finishing. If the repair included a new barrel, the pistol would have been proof fired and a normal Verified proof mark affixed to the trigger guard bow in the normal commercial practice. If the pistol was re-finished between about 1920 and 1942, the slide would probably be numbered to the frame again in the normal commercial practice. These pistols are really re-manufactured Colt pistols of limited production and should be valued at least that of a contemporary 1911A1 commercial pistol, but usually sell for less. Only pistols marked with identifiable Colt markings should be included in this category. Very seldom seen. Since Colt re-work records are lost, re-worked and re-finished pistols without identifiable Colt applied markings are probably not verifiable as Colt re-works and should be considered re-finished pistols of unknown pedigree. NOTE: Finish 99-100 percent add 30 percent.
