Union Switch & Signal slide on a Colt frame

I came across a 1911 with serial #44128 on the frame. According to what I found on line, this frame was made in 1913. The kicker is that it has a Union Switch and Signal slide on it. The gun is in remarkable shape with some very slight holster wear on the muzzle with original grips. I believe that the slide has been re-parked at some point because there is noticeable wear to the words "U.S. Army" on the right side of the slide, but it has a nice even patina. Is this a possible fake? If not and assuming it has been re-parked, is $1799.00 a bad/fair/decent/great price?
btw...it comes with an old and definitely original Colt holster that has a date of 1918 on the back of it.
