With matching serial numbers and their original box, these pistols look like they’ve barely seen handling. There were only 1,135 of these sets produced. Whether you’re a fan of Colt, the NRA, or just think it’s nifty to have a matched set of a full-size .45 and a compact .380, this set will add nicely to any collection.
