My step father ran into a 1911A1 and here is some vital info... can you tell me more?

The finish on the gun is Parkerized. Trigger is metal. Site is a
Triangle Site.

Here are the markings

Barrel Has NM7267717
Slide is 7790314 Colt
The serial number is 103XXXX (seems to put it at a 1943 Remington Rand Frame)

Has stampings of

FK, Frank Krack
FJA (Remington Rand or Ithaca)
RIA (rock island arsenal)

He was told it was a match grade gun, purchased by a gentlemen in the 50's. Based on what I can see it seems to have match grade parts, but is not a National Match gun. Does this seem right? Based on the triangle site I'd put it in the 63-65 time frame or later for when the site was added. Can you tell me more of what to look for? Condition is like 99% so anyone want to make a guess on price? I'll provide more info

Hi JessieJay and welcome to the forum. You will receive lots of good information from very knowledgeable folks (excluding myself) about your gun, but you will have to include some digital photographs. Take a bunch of photos including close ups of the markings on the slide, frame, barrel, and the sights. See this link for instructions about posting photos. Even I was able to figure it out after a couple of tries. Good luck!
