Welcome to the forum Darylc. That is a beautiful Colt. As to what model, it is as you stated a Colt 1911 Commemorative 200th Anniversary edition.

It is a Colt 1911 A1, probably a MK 4, ( Series 80 ). Did you buy it new? No paper work with it?

 

[darylc4]

a buddy of mine, father got the gun from a gunsmith, bought the gun new but no paper work. father barrow some money from me . over a year ago so i got the gun for 450.00 what he owed me never fired....
had it tested with my gunsmith. i was told it should be worth about $1000.00 to $1200.00 what do you think....

 

[RJay]

I think that if you got it for 450 dollars you should have been wearing a mask because you stole it. Yes, I also think you could double that amount if you sold it.

I would think Springfield could answer some of your questions. Possibly a manual.

 

[Shooter45]

Springfield giving out info on a Colt pistol ?

Don't think so.

 

[carver]

That gun is beautiful! But it's too purty to shoot! Still, for what you got it for, I would keep it!

 

[Double D]

No gun is too purty to shoot carver....I would shoot that one just like any other...

 

[ignats]

Technically it's a Government Model clone. M1911 and M1911 A1 were the Ordnance Department's nomenclature for the Colt auto loading pistol. Colt dubbed the commercial version the "Government Model".

It's a series 80 from a limited run for Lew Horton. Made around 1994.

I have one of these I got in an estate buy. It's in the original box with all the paperwork but it's the same stuff that came with all Series 80s. Mine is different only in that it has walnut grips.

Take that beautiful puppy out and shoot the beans out of it while others drool all over your ammo tray. Having a firearm unfired is like spending a lifetime without female companionship, just ain’t a lot of fun.
