You were correct, got clarification from seller. Thanks for your reply.
You're welcome Sir.

Was a "rounding" out of the slide stop notch on the slide common with these pistols?

What is the value of the 1911 in the OP? I know it depends when it was manufactured and what serial number it bears.
I might be acquiring one similar that was my grandfathers and I would never sell it - but I'm just curious. Thanks.

It's hard to say because my pistol is not for sale.
In general, pistols are worth whatever someone will pay. There are all kinds of refinished, restored, misrepresented and otherwise altered pieces that sell for as much as a nice, original piece because people don't know what they're buying.
It's best to ask questions before you buy..and you've done that. But you need to ask value and other questions about the speciic pistol you are considering because these pistols are not all alike and their values differ significantly.
A lot of people ruin old .45s by trying to improve them.
I have to ask: have you shot it? Is it in good working order?
It's in perfect working order...because neither I or it's previous owner turned it into a shooter.

Something fascinates me about taking such a noble instance to the range. But I don't think I'd feel this way if it were mine.
On the other hand, I can picture one wall of my house that is devoted to old-1911s-that-I-shot-until-I-broke-now-here-they-are-handsomely-displayed-with-every-known-bit-of-info-on-each-piece-engraved-in-brass.
Silly to a serious collector, I'm sure.
