I don't really consider any of my other pistols a collector's piece, but this may fit that bill. 1972 Colt, complete with original box, warranty card, original mag, and the paper the pistol came wrapped in.
Wow. I shudder to think what you might have paid for that...Wonder if my wife would agree to sacrificing 2 years of my daughter's college fund for something that sweet...
I am glad you took my word and jumped on this one. this is one deal you will NEVER regret making! That is a GORGEOUS specimen and a testament to what JMB MEANT a 1911 to be.
That is a nice looking gun. Now all you need to do is have: Ejection port lowered and flared Match barrel with bushing installed Skeletonized trigger installed Commander hammer installed Beavertail with bump installed Night sights installed Mainspring housing with mag well installed Extended ambi safety and extended slide release installed 2 piece full length guide rod w/shock buff installed Extended mag release button installed Hard chromed Custom grips installed And then pick up some eight round magazines.... Then you can carry it! I'm just kidding man! That is one sweet original Colt. Beautiful and JMB will HAUNT you if you change it! I'd be afraid to shoot it, it's pristine for a gun of that age! Congrats!
