[4Sale] Colt Custom Shop USMC Marked 1911 Rail Gun Desert Tan

Location

Oklahoma, United States

Up for sale is a rare USMC marked Colt 1911 Rail gun in Desert Tan. These were the same 1911s that Colt delivered to the USMC. However, these were turned out of the Colt Custom Shop in very limited numbers originally marked USMC just like the deployed models. However, Colt received a cease and desist from the Marines shortly into the run of pistols and had to stop marking them “USMC”. All subsequent pistols were marked "M45A1" on the slide. This particular pistol is one of the rare early ones with the "USMC" marked slide. It is NIB having never been fired outside the factory and comes packed in a Colt pelican case deployment pack with two magazines, Otis cleaning kit, and a factory test target serial numbered to the gun showing one ragged hole. These are getting harder and harder to come by.

Price is $4250

Please email with any questions and keep your eye out for some other special items coming out of my personal collection. I am not looking for trades at this time. Thanks!

Beautiful, but I'd have to make it go BANG which would lower the value. GLWS.

This jarhead would love to have this. They have gone up so much in price it's become unreasonable.

Are the mags Wilson black seven rounders?

 

[KOPBET]

Do other Colts come with a silly bar code?

 

[vette447]

Yes, they are black Wilson Combat mags. I do not know the round could as they are not marked but I would guess 7+1.

The barcode is because it is a mil gun, I believe. Or, at least this one was exactly like those that were delivered to the USMC so they had the barcode.
