I traded a Colt Woodsman Match target for this old beauty several years ago. Not pristine, but much better than most that I've seen.

HOLY SHIT that is beautiful.

Not pristine?  Its pretty damn close for an 83 year old gun.

No she is retired. I did function test it once, but like all collectables not worth the risk. I have plenty of other 1911's to shoot.
Thanks for everyones kind words.

I have a commercial piece manufactured in 1919.  It's funny how Colt have moved the "rampant colt" logo around on the slide over the years.  Check out mine.

Purdy! Is that factory engraving or aftermarket?

Factory engraved by master engraver.  It is pleasing to the eye.  Inlaid silver with elephant ivory stocks.  $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Good God I do not want to know what that is worth. Safe bet I could trade my truck to you for it and I would come out ahead.

Thanks for the complements.  It's not for sale/trade  unless you have something real nice in class 3 (like an MP5, M16, etc.)
