Colt .45 with capture papers

Well, congratulations, you stole this gun!
In its current, unaltered condition, (both trigger and grip safety are fairly easy to replace with originals), along with the very unusual capture papers this gun is worth 3 thousand and perhaps above.
The fact that it was produced as a commercial model in 1917, at the height of Goverment demand for 1911s makes it even rarer.
For a fee, Colt will research and send you a history of the gun.
