Hi:
My I have a Colt 45 government model on the slide it has:
COLTS PT. F.A MFG. CO HARTFORD CONN. USA
on the other side it has:
Government Model COLT Automatic Caliber .45
On the frame it has:
Essex Arms Corp.
Island Pond. VT.
3670.
It has wooden stocks.
The blue is very good.
It has an US military holster made in 1942 with metals hooks.
Anyone knows when was it manufatured?
and What is it worth today?
Thanks.

Any information would be appreciated!
Essex Arms, the folks who made the receiver, started in business making parts in the 1970's.
Because of this your pistol, unfortunately has little collectors value. The only demand would be from shooters who would want it as a functional firearm.
My WAG, based on condition is that it's worth between $200 & $400.
