for-sale Two old Colts for sale

[Randy1944]

I have a Colt SAA .45 for sale. Lettered to 1880.  A good example of an old West revolver.  Good fireable shape for 145 years.  $1700.00.  I will not ship.  Text 865-719-4434

I have a Colt 1911 for sale.  It was mfg. 1918 and is well used but in original condition.  Has two tone clip and nice walnut grips.  Not bad for a 107 year old semi automatic.  $1700.00. I will not ship.  Text 865-719-4434

All matching number guns? 

[Randy1944]

On the SAA, I see that the numbers on the backstrap and trigger guard and frame are the same. Where should I look on the 1911?

[bigun]

Great old guns. Wish you were closer. 

[Randy1944]

Maybe you need to plan a visit east to the Smoky Mountains.

[Wireman]

Is this a CMP 1911? Appears to have a later slide.

[Randy1944]

My 1911 was mfg. in 1918 and is period correct from what I have been told.  Could I ask you, what is there about the slide that doesn’t appear correct to 1918?  I appreciate your input.

I’d like to hear this as well.

[History Researcher]

The colt logo moved from the rear to the middle of the slide around Serial Number 285,000, according to book.  
 

It isn’t possible to know if slide is correct, without knowing the serial of the frame. 

[Randy1944]

Thank you History Researcher.  The serial number on the frame is 517xxx and the Colt logo is in the middle.

[BigSatt]

Randy, I friend of mine is interested in your 2 Colts. He said that he sent you a text with his contact info yesterday. Thanks. 

[Randy1944]

BigSat, Would you ask your friend to text me at 865-719-4434.  That way I can be sure to communicate with him.  Thank you.

Randy1944, 
With that information, the slide is most likely the correct slide for the frame. 

[Randy1944]

History Researcher,  Thank you for the information.

Did the SAA sell?

[leroy]

To all ya colt Gubt model military students.  There is a s/n on the frame only.  More than that; most military guns were rebuilt multiple times.  There was no attention paid to matching frames n slides.  If ya have a colt frame n slide, it's purely " luck of the draw ".  I've got a Springfield frame old colt slide warhorse in our collection.

Actually, in the late 30’s-early 40’s, I believe, colt numbered the slides, don’t know exactly when they did, but I have seen slides with numbers.  
Nothing at all wrong with a mismatched frame/slide, we were just figuring out if the slide was the style that was most likely original to the frame, which it appears to be.

That SAA is one of the best i've seen. Amazing shape.

The Colt SAA is available.  The Colt 1911 is still available.  Remember, I will not ship.  Thanks to everyone for their comments.

Is there a cash discount if a fellow buys both?

[Randy1944]

Sorry, but I am firm on price.  I also included with 1911 multiple grips and clips among other items.  Thanks for your interest.
