Is the rifling Left hand twist?

I found a discussion of these S&W MTU barrels in the 1911 forums-

Jon's guess of $1,400-$1,600 is probably pretty close. I don't think Clark jeweled the sides of the triggers and hammers, so this might affect the price. There would be a very limited market for this very nice pistol as a shooter and/or collector piece. You likely would just have to put it up for sale to reach the widest market, to get a decent price.
