Uuaaahhhh.... So step up to buy a 1920 $20 Double Eagle or a 1920 NIB Colt 1911 and see what they are going to cost.
A new in the box Colt 1911 circa 1920 is going to bring one hell of a lot more than 1200 plus $900 for a new production 1911. You are talking 4K anyway.
New production Colts are not made like they made em in grandpas day...start with forged parts vs cast parts.
whew....the notions people have?
