Given the choice, which is more valuable, a 1941 late parkerized R.S. or early W.B.
Question for the experienced collectors.
Given the choice of two equal, identical condition 95% parkerized 1941s, which do you believe is more valuable, a late R.S. or an early W.B.? What approximate value would you place on your choice today?
There were 34,756 Colts in 1941. Based on Mr. Clawson's 3rd edition, and notes from 1911A1 forums, my approximate estimate of the split of acceptances for 1941 is:
CSR Blue 3%
R.S. Blue 33%
R.S. Parkerized 46%
W.B. Parkerized 18%
