    Mint Condition Original 1917 date 1911 Sells for $17k+

    Wow...

    Seller seems to have more than a few seriously rare old Colts, including a 9mm 1911A1 that I'd love to have.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    That’s a beautiful 1911.
    We interrupt this programme to bring you an important news bulletin: the suspect in the Happy Times All-Girl Glee Club slaying has fled the scene and has managed to elude the police. He is armed and dangerous, and has been spotted in the West Side area, armed with a meat cleaver in one hand and his genitals in the other...

    After four years of active duty and beat to piss 1911A1s,
    I was in the NG for four years while going to college before I went back on active duty.

    The average issue 1911A1 was a little better than I had in Ranger Bn.

    When hand picking from the reserve selection for TAG matches,
    Younwould not believe the pristine beautys still available in the early 1990s.

    There is a Walker Colt about to come up for auction here locally, on the 18th I believe. Estimate is 1-1.2 mil. Was in a shoe box.

    The last Walker Colt that sold several years ago fetched the highest price of any gun so I'm sure this one will surpass it.

    How rare is this? Having the original case and accessories. https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/c...ashes-records/

    I think that is the one I was thinking of . . . though I thought it was from a couple of years ago.

    The original box AND accessories along with original matching parts is why that one commanded such a price. Love this history of those Walker Colts.
