Colt 1911 man. 1918 New Pics. Added

Below are several pictures I took of a Colt 1911 manufactured in 1918. I recently bought it and would like to see what is thought of it's condition and originality. Feel free to through a "ball park" value on it as well.
Thanks,
Aaron
EDIT:
I doubt the new pictures I have added change much of the "prognosis", but I used far less lighting with them than the previous pictures.

Unfortunately if it has been reblued this would have a very negative affect on it's value to a collector of military 1911's.

His photos also show what Perry Shooter is talking about, in regard to the barrel markings.
Even though it's been refinished & had parts replaced, I would expect it to sell in the $1,000-$1,200 range if it were posted on the GB auction side.
