Dear members,
This may be posted in the wrong area, if that is the case, I apologize. You are the only folks that I can turn to with this type of question.
I was at a gun show this past Sunday and found a Caspian frame and slide (full size grip, 4.25 barrel). Frame is checkered (30 lpi), Novak sights black on black, Ed Brown grip safety, Smith & Alexander mag well, trigger is about 3.75- 4.0 lbs, barrel is Nowlin 45cal. Finish is blue. Cosmetically perfect. This weapon was purchased from a collection of guns from a gunsmith in default in the Arkansas area (name unknown).
What is this weapon worth or what is a fair price to pay? I seem to remember that a gunsmith that posted frequently over at 1911forum.com lost his business in that area.

Would this gunsmith's name happen to be Steve Clark?

BK,

Let's hope not since if so, it's probably some poor SOB's gun that was paid for but never delivered. Now I'll stop and let my blood pressure go down.

Gents,
I don't know the name of the pistolsmith in question but I do recall the situation concerning Mr Clark (Steve). That being said the work on this particular pistol is very nice. What I am trying to ascertain is if the weapon is worth $800.00??

Caspian makes some of the best frames and slides available. Some say the best. Parts are good. Cosmetics perfect? Sounds like it is easily worth $800. But you are the guy looking at it, so buyer beware!
