Your slide might be 'valuable'
Slide Stuff
A quick survey of GunBroker suggests an actual USGI Colt-marked slide might bring as much as $400, even if not 'pristine'.
A 'Colt' NM-type slide, maybe a bit less ($300?).
And just for comparison, a stainless Series 80 slide, around $200.
Big Fix
New sights? Including skilled, reputable gunsmithing/machining, probably around $200 or a bit more, once all is said and done.
Little Fix
Testor's-brand Flat White scale-modeler's enamel (or a touch-up bottle of 'refrigerator paint')? Less than $5...
