You can get a new one like it for 921 on Buds. I'd google function checks for series 70 and use those checks to test the safeties, etc. check barrel to bushing fit. Pistol will rattle but barrel bushing fit is key for accuracy.. I'm far from knowing much, but that's what I'd check. I'd go 650-700 I guess. Nice gun.

That's what I forgot to add... Knew there was something else important...

Maintenance day at work. Just got home... I'm whipped.

While that is true, nothing beats owning an older Colt 1911 that's in good shape.

I have a 74 Gold Cup and an 89 Delta Elite. Nothing quite like them...

Although I may be getting a new production Delta Elite since they're now building them on the old (now discontinued) Colt XSE line that has a lot of bells and whistles...
