not 90 percent.

claimed that it was worth more because it was a "Korean" model with a serial
number in the 68,000 range. He asked if I was interested. I told him no.

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.

as a private sale, which is legal here in Texas. The price was $550. I did not
have any idea what the gun was worth. On the same table was a Para Ordinance
for over $800, which struck me as high. I suspect the seller was looking for
someone willing to pay a premium to avoid the 4473. I passed.

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