Hi,
I have an old colt 1911 and thought I would like to get it reblued.
Now hears the problem, This 1911 has been in the family for eighty years plus.
It has been our house gun for longer than anyone can remember and has always served the family well. And I feel its time to retire the old girl because of her age and thought it would be nice to bring back the shine she once had.
Well I called the Colt people and asked if they could reblue it and they said sure.
Now hears the problem, when I gave them the serial no. C-7xxx ,they said no and wouldn't touch it.
Any thoughts ?
There is nothing wrong with this 1911 other than it needs to be reblued to bring her up to her former glory. Every thing is very clean and crisp and very little wear to any parts. She has about 50% original blue left.
