My late Dad left me a Colt 1911, stamped "United States Property M1911A1 U.S. Army" that has a six digit serial number starting with 9.
I know he bought it from a guy for $40 back in the 60's and said it was "liberated" after the war. He and the seller were both WWII veterans.
Can anyone tell me if this firearm is of high value or is it considered stolen property?

Not likely stolen property. Value at least $900 or more depending on condition. Who is the listed manufacturer?
