...THAT, is absolute worthless ifno for trying to decide a value of a gun.
...Appears to be a S 70 Model 1911...if I remember correctly, Colt threw in the "B" into the serial on the new repros of their original series 70 1911's. If it's a Colt...and it's not a revolver...and it's cal is 9mm, 38 Super, 40 S & W (rarely) .45acp...and looks similar to this
..it's a 1911.
..Call Colt Customer Service, it's free. Give the nice people the serial, they will tell you what year the Colt was made. From there you need GOOD pics, an accurate description if want help with the value. Some of us may keep up w/the values of certain brands of guns, but we are not mind reading wizards...[;)]
To Johnny Yuma: As previously mentioned, pictures of the firearm, or a good description will help. Don't run from us. You'll get good answers to your questions. Hang in there. Lots of knowledge on this forum. You'll see. Best, Joe

In ya'll's infinite wisdom, please give at least SOME...or even MORE info than what I gave Yuma...as you both decided in a lame manner to hammer on me...WITHOUT giving YUMA one iota of info!...which I DID give along with WHERE he could identify the year his Colt was made by it's serial(Colt customer service) AND pointed out why much more info (UNLESS that is, ya'll have SOME...ANY info) would be hard to give with the beyond limited info he posted.
...Sooo sorry ya'll are so thin skinned as to be offended by being confronted with/pointing out facts, while still being internet rambo's enough to attempt to rag me for my method of delivery of "the way it is"...to borrow a phrase from DWS..."BITE ME"...[:D]
..Im done, conversations (if they can be called that) with someone that attempts to talk, but says nothing really bore me...another borrowed phrase from DWS..*...[;)]
... Mods, Im thru as long as the Einstiens are.
...Granted I could have added some candied coated answer...but I just used plain straight forward language...and THAT is a reason for these two to NOT answer/even ATTEMPT to answer his post but make an attempt to critisize me? I think not...being PC and beating around the bush, does not work for me....for some it does. I dont see where I insulted or was rude to Yuma at all....I offered some help, which he asked for, laced with VERY slight sarcasism...please burn me and my family at the stake, geeze...lighten up people!
I suggest looking thru some past replies where people gave poor info and expected a wealth of info that was not attainable from the info the gave...FAR worse and down right insulting...I don't belive my reply remotely approached some of those replies.
...Please point out what it was I said that was "so" bad...I don't see it; plain language yes, belittlement no...[;)]
PS You're welcome to E-mail me. Joe
i found out its a series 70 made between 81 and 83.
as for what its worth, i can tell you. $700 that's what i paid for it today. now maybe that was cheap and maybe i got ripped, but i don't really care. i wanted it and now i have it. i just have to wait for it to clear registration to pick it up.oh here is where i found the info on the serial #
