When was it made?

[DIXIE DUCK]

My father has a .38super autamatic colt 1911 that was carried by his grandfather in world war 1 and by his father in korea. It is a very smooth pistol and it has mother of pearl grips. Allot of the bluing is worn, but there is no rust.

How can I find out exacly what year this gun was made?
How much do you think it is worth? It would mean allot to my dad to know this.
Any help is appreciated!:patriot:

No disrespect, but are you sure it's a .38Super? WWI ended around 1918, Colt started the 38Super around the 1929's if I'm not mistaken.

Give us a serial number and a picture if possible and I'll look up the year it was made for you:wavey:
