I wanted to share my good fortune in acquiring this Colt from a local online auction. For the price of a new Pietta from Cabela's, I got this cased set as shown. I was shocked when no one else bid it higher. I guess everyone wants AR's now a days.

I believe the accessories may of been pieced together by a previous owner but the pistol itself is a genuine Made in 1975 2nd gen Colt. I am 90% sure it is unfired. Just the slightest small scuff on the silver plated trigger guard. The photos don't do the bluing and case hardening justice.

You stole that set! Good on ya’!
 
Well done, I've said Colts can be found at reasonable prices. Of the three 2nd gen Colt's I've purchased, 1851, 1860 and an 1862 Pocket Police the Navy is my favorite. The Navy was used by a re-enactor for years and it gained a beautiful patina looking like well preserved original. The other two were never fired but lacking the boxes they were only $150-to $200 more than a new Uberti or Pietta. You just have to shop around :thumb:.
