I've been offered a 1911 MKIV/Series 70 Gold Cup National Match at 97% condition for sale. It comes without the box and paperwork. What is a fair price for this piece. Any other comments or opinions would be appreciated as well. Thanks in advance.

This one's $850. I thought it seemed fair. Just wanted to be sure. Thanks again.

$1000 to $1200+ NIB, so at 97% yours sounds very reasonable.

Anything under $1000 is a good deal.

I've never owned a 1911. I assume this one would be good as any to start with. I want a good shooter. Wouldn't this fill the bill?
