Ballpark value: 1911 Bulls-eye Match

Excellent advice on the handloads. Never shoot someone else's handloads. You can't tell how much of what kind of powder is in there, and you can't tell what kind of procedure was used to load them. Pull them down and start over. Ammo is cheap compared to a damaged gun due to suspect handloads.

IF there was any way to determine exactly who built this bullseye gun, that would help a lot. If built by a recognized pistolsmith, that definitely adds value......if by "old Joe that works on 1911s", it may definitely drop the value. Custom weapons built to the owner's specs can be hard to sell for reasonable values.
