Did I get a good deal? I just purchased this 1911 from a woman whose father just died.

How much did you pay for it?

Never ask the price on public forum. PM and ask if he'll tell you

Everything I have been able to confirm concerning this 1911 shows the production dates in 1912. All of the markings check out on the gun. Should I have it restored or leave as is? The pistol function perfectly but does appear to have some wear to it.

It is worth more as is. It does need to be cleaned and oiled.

And most likely a new recoil spring

I’ve put 2 dozen rounds through it, work’s flawlessly
