Where do you find all these beautiful Colts?

Here is how I will display it!!!

 

[Inebriated]

The card in it has a typo... "The fought" isn't right.

AWESOME looking gun though. Just awesome.

Neither is "he had an outstanding military by any standard." And put a period after 1955.

10/10 for the pistol, 3/10 for the card.

Looks good to me!

He sounds like a great guy. How did you come by this pistol, if I may ask?

 

[Drail]

Doesn't look like it was carried very long if that's really the original finish.

 

[Lucky Derby]

Beautiful Colt. I'm sure it served the Col well.
