I bought a Springfield a few years ago.

Here's the number on it:

N416780

Does anyone know how I would go about getting a model number and a value on it?

Thanks in advance for any advice

    Thanks Tommy.

    The number is on the lower receiver. Springfiel Geneso, IL is stamped right above it.

    Both the slide and the lower receiver have Springfield stamps on them.

    My Springfield is virtually identical to this picture. The only difference is that my weapon doesn't have the springfield logo on the grips and doesn't have the ambidextrous safety. The number is even similar.

    This picture is found in the Full Size Pistol section of the 1911 section on Springfield's web site. You can click on the parkerized finish image and this is waht you get. So, I'm thinking that it's a custom loaded Springfield.

    Any comments.

    Awile back I called Springfield regarding the history of one of their pistols, that I owned at the time. The lady I spoke to was very helpfull, and answered my questions.

    I would get hold of their customer service number, and give them a call. Hopefully they will be able to give you specific data regarding model, DOM and original configuration. You can use this data to check the "SOLD" prices for Springfield pistols similar to yours,on the internet auctions. This will put you in the ballpark, value wise as far as yours is concerned.

    I agree. It's a SA 1911A1, not necessarily a "loaded" model. You can go to SA website, they have a "contact us" page. Give them the serial number and politely ask for history of gun and in a couple days they will tell you when the gun was made. They have a very nice lady working there who is very helpful.
