OK, let's start at the beginning. On this forum, once you post a new item, people usually respond; if you want to add something more to that item, go back to it, enter your additional information, and press the "Post new reply" button. This keeps all related comments together, and is called a "string". Don't start a new item every time you want to add something to your original posting.
Now, as for your pistol, my SWAG is that we are talking about the $500-1,500 range. You still need to give us more details if we are to narrow it down any more. As for prior ownership by a general, if you have the original US Army sales slip, as well as other original documentation, it MIGHT be worth more than a run-of-the-mill pistol; otherwise, if you just have someone's word that it belonged to a general, that means nothing.
NO GUTS, NO GLORY
Your M1911A1 was made in 1943. It should have plastic grips, but the wood grips may be correct. It should have GHD stamped on the left side of the frame, and the ordinance seal on the right. The barrel should be blue, and should have a P stamped on the lug, and possibly a S in front of it, as well as COLT stamped near the lug. The magazine should have C-R on the bottom of the floor plate.
If all original and as you describe, we're talking about the $1,500-2,000 range.
It would probably sell in the $350-500 range.
