Colt 1911 how much is it worth

OMG! It has the blue case?
That right there indicates it's one of the select models built especially for General George S. Patton's daughter Ruth Ellen. They only made 4 of those.
Last one I saw available on the open market was at Morphy's Auctions in 2012 - it sold for $312,000. Had its blue case, and all its original paperwork.
What a find!
Post it up for sale in the Calguns marketplace, you're sure to get a bite.

If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?Comment

Since you have the case:
Look for a more exact description from labels and paperwork.
Search the web for a serial number lookup, and see when it was manufactured.
Take a few pics showing condition.
Bounce what you find against seller websites like Gunbroker.
Come back on here and try again submitting the pertinent info.Comment
