$1500 is outrageous though. I would expect these particular guns (the 1911's) to be in the $400 TOPS range. Hell, they've been in cosmoline for the last 40 years.

Not to mention that if I am going to drop $1500 on a 1911 - it will be a new Springfield. I currently own two - one a MilSpec 1911 ($500) and a 1911 Range Officer compact that I carry. It was a Christmas gift, but I believe that my Wife paid $700 for it.

Of course, if you want to drop bigger dollars, I would recommend a Kimber. But I have shot several of those and just don't get the hype for a $2,000 pistol.
Yeah, you are getting severely ****ed if you pay even half of the 1500 for a surplus 1911.
