For over 100 years the Colt 1911 has been the gun of many man's dreams. The traditional styling and classic lines still are the benchmark for many. These 1969 and 1970 vintage Colts got some upgrades like new sights, Kart NM barrels and bushings. Front strap serrations and new sears and hammer. They still retail the original Colt styling. Both are finished in a bright blue with Colt double diamond grips. The .38 Supe was once a resident of Germany and found its way home. The German proof marks, like stamps on a passport, remain. Thanks to Parker Duofold for the use of his pens.

gorgeous color! The slides and frames look flawless. These are original from 1969 and '70? Hard to believe.
 
I saw those pistols in person. They are even better than in the pictures.

The deco styled bottle of Parker ink (Quink) is WW2 vintage with original blue ink still inside. The pen in the first photo is a 1920s Waterman's (New York, NY) black hard rubber with 14K gold overlay. The pen in the other photo is a 1930s Parker Pen Company (Janesville, Wisc) Duofold Streamline.
