The slide looks roll marked, the frame (US Property)looks engraved
IIRC, Colt is contracting someone to make them. http://www.usarmamentcorp.com/manufactured-products/colt-1903-pocket-pistol |

I cannot imagine how much it would cost if it was polished like the vintage guns were.
That's a very coarse job compared to my 1926 made example. |

I can't believe the blued version costs the same as the parkerized version. I would have thought the blued ones would cost more.

Bluing and polishing looks like crap, especially for a $1,500 pistol.

WTF, you can get a really nice original for half that.

Way back last year I postulated they had a winner if they could keep it under $800.
New for $800 competes OK with the used market which was hovering around $600 for well loved and just under a grand for pristine. But $1,500 for new and just under a grand for a pristine vintage example today? Especially when the finish on even $700 guns looks better? Oops. |

The new 1903's are selling faster than they can be made, there is a huge backorder on them. |

Wow! I know of an almost mint 1903, beautifully polished, blued, just a perfect gun in a local shop. Asking $950 for it.

I see my cue to post my pistol / Sun Tzu photo and comment that they sure don't blue 'em like they used to.

It's not Sun Tzu, and mine's not pristine... But it's still holding a smoother polish than the new one. |

I fondled one at the SHOT show, looked and felt nice. Price is a turn off, especially when there are a lot of originals for sale far cheaper. Last time I looked the very nicest were running around 800.00 while the roughest were around 350.00. Neat little gun.

I just got one for around $450, not the nicest but no gouges, normal finish wear for the age. Satisfied the 1903 itch that I had to scratch. I've seen the parked in the wild and was not impressed, especially when you can get
a nice royal blue series 70 1911 for way less. |

I don't think the bluing is all that bad.
