Hello, I'm new to the board and to owning guns in general.
My uncle recently passed away and left me 4 pistols. I have a Ruger P97DC new in box unfired, a Browning .40cal NIB unfired, a S&W .357 mag NIB unfired and the pistol I have a question about.
It's a Colt .45. On th left side of the barrel it says "Government Model Colt .45 automatic". I'm told it's a 1911?
The first 3 #'s of the serial are 292XXX-C.
Can anyone tell if it is in fact a 1911 model, the year and value?
Thanks in advance
