Oh goody flame time One might say they have had an early start on the 1918s because a lot of the later WWIs came out looking black(er). My recollection is that my reject had the most unreal blue finish and the replacement seemed to be blacker instead of that rich "gray-blue". In all fairness though, I was comparing reality of the new to perceived recollection and a flash picture of the old, but I have heard others talk about theirs having a black(er) finish. Old   New  Black(er) or blue, it still is a real fine example of a Colt nevertheless. I suppose they made the 5,000 run after all. Does anybody know if the new one has the same rollmarks, packaging, etc? |
