When I saw the title I said to myself only if it's new in the box. Then I clicked on to the picture, never mind. That's one beautiful pistol and a nice piece of history. Well done Sir......
So….is there a Colt letter somewhere on this gun? Factory engraved nickel?
I have never held a $10,000 Colt, much less be able to afford one. However, if I had $10,000 for a special gun, I would probably lean toward this one. It recently sold for approximately $9500. All numbers match, factory letter on the gun as being a two tone, and factory letter on the engraving. Either one, the Colt or the S&W are out of my league.
And let's not exclude other handguns of my neighbor's that are fun to look at….
The owner of this gun is an older gentleman who has a pretty extensive collection of high end vintage firearms. While I haven't personally seen it, he did say that he has documentation from Colt. He also mentioned that this gun was appraised by the "Antiques Roadshow" TV show at one time. The previous owner was apparently a high level exec with Xerox.
Your neighbor definitely likes blingy guns! Awesome though....much better than having a f@cktard neighbor that doesn't like guns.
If I had $10K to drop on a gun I would go with a transferrable Norell conversion 10\22. And with whatever change I had leftover I'd buy 22 ammo.I have never held a $10,000 Colt, much less be able to afford one.
