Welcome to the forum. Please do not take this the wrong way, but your question is somewhat like "I have a Chevrolet two-door automobile with a V8 engine. What's it worth?" No firearm can be accurately evaluated sight unseen, but to even get close, far more info is necessary. Every marking, condition, finish, grips and serial # would be good to start. A photo would be most helpful as well. I'm not one of the 1911 experts on here, but there are others who may be able to help.

(On the serial #, substitute "x's" for the last two or three digits)
