Geez that was way to high. I'm glad you passed on both. Para is kinda funny
because they have 1911's at $600 and then jump to almost a $1000. Darned if I
can figure out the justification for that price range.

someone willing to pay a premium to avoid the 4473. I passed.

looked like a previous owner might have messed with the internals.
