I'll tell you this ,, If I could afford to get in this auction I would! This gun has to be worth a fortune today and everyday after this.. The price of this gun will just keep going up and up every time it's sold.

Wow that's a pretty Colt. It's probably just as well that I can't afford to bid on it. Cos if I won it, the first thing I'd do is take it out and shoot it.

I think it's a neat piece, but for the money they're getting I'd think it would be completely engraved and probably a sizeable amount of gold inlaid.

it's called a market bubble. This is the Beanie Baby of firearms.
The pawn shop will love to see it coming.

I want to get Y2K a 1911 this year on the 100th anniversary - just not THAT one!

Yes that is very cool. I love the deep Colt blue. I am seriously considering getting my handgun licence here and getting a much wanted 1911.

Might have something to do with the fact that I am currently training with our new S&W .40 for LE.

It would be a great carry gun if you added some XS Big Dots and a ambi safety. Maybe a laser guide rod too.
