For a collector or long term investor this, I feel,
is reasonably priced and might go to $2,500.00 in competitive bidding.

If you want a shooter I would buy a newly made high quality .45 with the custom touches that make it right for you.

Its nice but pricy. For a collection/investment not bad. If you want to shoot buy a new one. I absolutly love my colt model 70. If you insist on buying that gun to shoot buy a new barrel, the one in the picture is rusted.

That gun has been Touched up /Cold blueing in spots, the pin holes have been hammered...Bore looks rusted, ding marks on frame...Not a real good "Collectors piece" ...I've seen Better for 1800 !
