Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Price Check - 1911 Combat Elite

A friend of my wife husband passed away last summer. He had quite a few guns stashed away and she asked me to help her sell them. She doesn't have a clue what they are or what they are worth. Most of them are not worth a whole lot, just shooters but I found this gem stashed in the back of one safe. It's new in the box never fired 1911 MK IV Series 80 Combat Elite.According to the serial number it was made in 1995. I really want to buy this gun from her and I am willing to pay her a fair price for it. Looking on Gun Broker there isn't many like it listed and the few that are close to the year and condition are priced very high IMO.
I don't want to pay top dollar and I don't want to take advantage of her so I'm asking the 1911 experts what would be a fair offer? I was thinking $850? What say ye?
