Re: Eye Candy
You'll have to Google this in order to find it. We don't allow links to certain auction-based gun sales sites here.
Searching "1911 Master Engraved Colt 100th Anniv. Edition" brought it up as the first result for me.

Re: Eye Candy
Different strokes, I reckon - I could buy a lot of firepower for $45K and wouldn't have to worry about shootin' 'em! LOL

Re: Eye Candy
Ya, I confess, I bought it.
Dropped it on the asphalt gettin' out of the pickup at the range, shot about 700rnds of cheap dirty ammo thru it. I probably should clean it someday. I'm thinkin' of gettin' a bluing kit and doin' it at home. I think I'm using too coarse of sandpaper on it though......

Re: Eye Candy
I think Frank Brownell might own this. I was talking to him the other day, and he said he bought the 100th Anniversay Colt pistol in an auction. I have no reason to disbelieve him.
Nice gun. George Spring is a fantastic engraver. The workmanship is as good as it gets.

Re: Eye Candy
Roughly $44k more than it's worth.
