Even if you sell it, the spare parts kit will probably at least pay for itself and could be used as a selling point. If you keep the gun, it will be invaluable. I would advise you to grab one of those kits. Last I knew, Sarco still had for sale kits of "essential" LDA parts. Remington does not have any parts for it - they sold them all to Sarco and Numrich. 40 S&W models, are probably worth less than a comparable Para-Ordnance single action of the same age and condition. I don't think there's any premium for them. I think they are good pistols, but virtually none of the fire control parts interchange with a standard 1911.
The Para-Ordnance name would make it a fairly early LDA. If it says "Para-Ordnance," not "ParaUSA," on the slide, it was made in Canada before Para moved production to North Carolina and renamed the brand ParaUSA.
There's no way to know when it was made without a serial number, and even then it's only approximate as I don't think anyone has created a definitive serial number look-up for Para-Ordnance pistols. It remained in production until Remington (which had bought out ParaUSA) killed off Para in 2015 or 2016. Para-Ordnance introduced the LDA (Light Double Action) action system in 2000, IIRC.
