Green wax on Colt logo. I have cleaned some off. I hope this was not a bad thing to do.

Can you post a picture of the USMC mark on the bottom of the grip? If this is a military marked gun it will definitely have some added value. While this is a great forum I would recommend posting pictures of it at www.coltforum.com
There are guys over there that know pretty much everything about these and are always willing to help. This sounds like a gun that might be worth getting a Colt archive letter for.
Nice old Colt by the way.
