This Premium Quality National Match Gold Cup Custom Shop Colt pistol was purchased NIB by me in 1982. It has been fired less than 1500 rounds in its lifetime. Would rate at 98% or better. It is one of only 200 Mini Edition 70 series pistols done in the Colt Custom Shop. Colt did this run in Gold Cups, 50 blue and 50 electro less Nickel. Also produced in the 200 were 50 std. 1911s in blue and 50 Nickel also. This is one of the Rarest Colt factory original O5870 Gold Cup Models ever with the custom new Enhancements produced. The only change to its issued condition is a Millet white cross staked front site as Colts from that era flew off upon firing. An original front site can easily be found and restored to it if one desired. The many additional Enhancements from the Colt Custom Shop include checkered mainspring housing, beveled mag well, wide grip safety, ambi safety, and more, just refer to the Colt Archives letter in the included pic. Now sale priced $2400 cash. NOW JUST $2200!!! Once in a lifetime opportunity to get a Colt like this! Caspian Custom 1911 as good or better than any Ed Brown, Les Baer or Wilson. Fired 1500 rds. One of a kind so no one will have one like it! Built by ex Detonics Master Gunsmith for me in 1997. As nice a .45 as ever there was. $1900 NOW JUST $1700!!! a bargain compared to all the overpriced mass produced super guns like it. Shows some wear from carrying concealed but mechanically it is like new. Please note the lack of wear on the Nowlin match barrel, this pistol is barely broken in yet! Built from best parts money can buy. Heinie sights S&A mag well ect. ect. Hand fitted to perfection! Will consider trades of pre ban AK rifles, Colt AR 15s, Arsenal Bulgarian Milled, Gen 1 Ace 5.45, HK Socom pistol, or new Beryl rifles as well.
