This is a limited edition Colt 1911 that is being donated to the NRA. Based on what we were told, the engraving is hand engraved by one of Colt's few master engravers. This was on display at SHOT Show 2011 in Las Vegas.

  • soooooooooooooooooo does anybody know howmuch this piece is?

  • @topo2407 The two models on display at SHOT were sold / auctioned. I believe one brought about $77,000 and the other perhaps around $30,000. I'm less sure about the price of the less expensive 1911.

  • Gun looks very nice but why put Samuel Colt on it when its a John M Browning's design that is turning 100 years old? Give credit where it is due John Browning is "the" definitive gun designer of all time IMO

  • @megacptMurphy

    John Browning couldn't have mass produced it without Colt's pocketbook. sure, he could have released his design on his own, but would it have been as wildly popular and/or scored so many government contracts? doubtful.

    that being said, I agree, lol, I think Sam Colt's face on the grip is a little out of place. but like you said, give credit where credit is due. I could have a genius idea, but without the help of others that are more well established, I would get nowhere.

  • Imagine you actually got one of these and one day you decided you were going to take it apart. On re-assembly you make an idiot scratch. What will you do next?

  • @canonhf20 too steep for my pockets then

  • @topo2407 Dunno if its been said already but I believe the auction that sold for $77k also included a paid trip to the colt factory for a tour. I was watching the auction on gunbroker back when it was happening.
