anyone familiar with U.S.-made stainless Colt reproductions?

purportedly made in Montana a few decades ago, but none of these have any markings on them at all...

Glen Marose of Missoula made a whole series of these. I've only seen a few of them personally. I know an entire set that covered Patersons through the early cartridge conversions was sold a few years back. I'm not sure when exactly he was making these. If I am remembering correctly, he made replacement parts for Colts through the 1980s.

thank you, that's it!

I am now able to find a few other past auctions featuring his work:

These twenty-three guns were made by Master Machinist Glen Marose of Missoula, Montana. Mr. Marose made facsimile Colts in the highest quality that were never numbered, marked nor finished, but are exact near copies of the patterns he made such as these. Mr. Marose was born in 1936 and started making guns in the 1950s. He supplied facsimile Colt parts for many years from the 1960s through the 1990s to several parts companies. His facsimiles are among the very best made, and many have been finished and sold as originals.
