Very old thread…but
How about the value of my 2010, Special Order 100th Anniversary Colt 1911 with:
-Royal Blue full polish finish
-Never Racked Slide
-New In The Box with all original packaging, G.I. Manual and Checkered grips
-Two original Colt Two-Toned magazines
-Close Grained Elephant Ivory Grips
-Colt Presentation Case
-Colt Authentication Letter
-Stored in the original Colt anti-corrosion paper, in original Custom Shop packaging, in my climate controlled safe.
My very biased estimate: (I looked at it yesterday) Priceless.
In short, the definition of a true Safe Queen…never to be shot by me, but the grand kids can fight over who gets first trigger pull on that beauty.
I think J.M.B. would be very proud of my copy of his masterpiece.
Keep A Good Thought…
