The 'Modern' M1911...
St. George:
What's the serial number?
A WWI pistol is 'blued' - not 'Parkerized' - the one you're looking at may be a rebuild.
WWI guns were built by Colt, Remington-UMC, Springfield Armory (the 'real' Springfield Armory - not the commercial firm of today).

Tascosa Joe:
The SN is 176196 which from your other listing shows to be a 1915-1918 pistol. It has been messed with. The safety lever has been replaced. The brushed blue is good on one side the other looks like someone used a wire wheel or sand paper to clean it up.
The same store had a walk in yesterday. It was a 98% Colt/Springfield SN range 130XXX, I did not write the SN down. It had a holster, pistol belt, and a Model 1918 2 mag pouch with it. They had not priced the pistol yet. I bet it is expensive.
St. George:
Oh, it'll be expensive, all right...
A word of advice - beware of 'complete rigs' - they're easily put together, and folks 'want' to believe, so they don't bother to look too closely at the weapon.
Vaya,
