My $300 Colt 1903

[coctailer]

Nibbs called me from The Gunbroker in Clackamas, OR saying he is holding a 1903 that they are selling for $300.

Shiny blue finish most likely re-finish.

He knew I was looking for one, so he handed the phone to the hottie that works there, and I put a deposit on it with my CC.

This is what I found when I got there..........

I found a 1941 SVT-40 there for $250. Great shape. You know I picked that up. I kinda feel bad because they had just price checked "Tokarev."

...until I found out they had bought if off someone else that morning for likely far less. I love it.

That is a great little pistol; nice score.

i love old iron anything. that pistola is just awesome. can you imagine the kind of primitive tooling they used to machine that thing in 1903? super cool

 

[bruzer]

WOW, has it ever been shot? Looks very clean in the pictures.
I like the old COLT ad you have posted. Maybe that is why I found my Dad's old Colt hidden in the truck.

[dolooper]

Wow.

That's why it pays to drop it occasionally and check out the high-volume gun stores, every now and then they slip up on pricing

That is a helluva find. Enjoy it!

You planning on keeping it as a show piece or taking it to the range?

Or, flashing it at thugs with murderous looking clubs? That, you know, works just as well...

The proverbial steal.

I think I'll use if for fending off thugs with murderous clubs.
It is going to be my EDC gun.

 

[ZigZagZeke]

Way better condition than mine. Good deal!

 

[waterdog1021]

Awesome deal for a great piece of history.......

I just broke the Tenth Commandment.

Dang, that is a religious experience! All of this networking with gun nuts DOES eventually pay off! Um, I don't think that is a refinish...............and that feed ramp appears untouched by lead or brass. Ditto with the poster about the hand tooling---no robots or automilling involved! A work of art from some artisans' hands; and blessings upon whoever maintained it all these years!.......................elsullo
