I just found a Delta Elite at a local gunshop for $699. Here's the catch, its a stainless frame and blue slide. Looks like its been shot a bit but is still in good shape.

I didn't think they ever made a two tone so it gets me wondering what was done to it in the past.

Any ideas?

Looks like its a Delta Elite slide and a Caspian frame.

Pass its a parts gun and seems to be priced high in my opinion.... :)

Get a better look at it. Could be a blued delta frame with a delta top end. Check it out, see if you can take it for a test drive, offer him 550-600 cash, see what he says.

I passed on it. I found a LNIB Delta for $695 with some extras. :D

Colt made a COMBAT ELITE in 10mm in the blue slide/stainless frame config.

No DELTA ELITE that I know of was made like that. A Colt frame is marked "Colt's Pat. F.A. Mfg. Co. Hartford CT" or words to that effect, found on the right side over the top of the stock. HTH

Roger that. I didnt see any colt markings on it at all. The serial number started with a C00XXXX so I believe it was a Caspian frame.
