hello,,first off your serial number places the pistol in a colt serial number block made in 1914,,it sounds like it's been modified from original with the rear siteand possibly the finish,,the original finish should be a dull finish sorta like a flat blue,,the peice on the trigger is called a trigger shoe and can be removed the rear site can be replaced and shoule be pretty close tp being back to original specs as long as the adjustable rear site wasn't drilled and tapped on ,,if it's a drift on site it's possible to have the original site restaked back on ,,if theres holes then i'd leave it like it is and it's a shooter ,,not a collectors item,,the finish could be redone to a close look of original by someone who restores old colts but it may be costly,,an original colt 5 digit serial number army marked pistol has a book value of 2500 in good condition,,and prices go up from there if the condition goes up in a collectors eyes ,,i beleive the grips should be wood double dimond grips,,like it is with the rear site and depending on the originality of the finish proably around 550-750 as long as there are no extra holes drilled into the slide ,,
