Nice 1911, those pre war commercials were best ever built. I've had a sack of Colt and GI 1911s but only one commercial pre war and it was no cream puff. The 1911 wasn't a popular pistol until 70s and combat shooting cult kicked off. I have only had 5 or 6 post war 1911s up to series 70s. Then I've owned quite a few.

They are pricey these days for sure. Sounds like a fair deal for both of you. I could not tell a lot by the picture about the color or the bluing. Most that age that I have seen have a almost green or gray color to the metal. That one looks like dark bluing and shiny but that may just be the light the picture was taken in.
