Colt Custom Shop Gold Cup Ser 70

Colt Custom Shop Gold Cup Semi-Auto Pistol serial #12331N70, 45 ACP, 5” barrel with an excellent bore. This lovely Series 70 Gold Cup has had a few tasteful enhancements performed by the custom shop. The gun is in excellent condition and appears as-new-in-the-box with about 99% plus original blue finish. One of the enhancements were Colt wrap around Pachmayr grips with gold Rampant Colt medallions that remain in excellent condition. This gun has an undercut Patridge front sight, Colt Eliason adjustable rear sight, series 70 collet barrel bushing, and functions mechanically. A small list of custom shop features is included with the gun and include a wide grip safety, ambidextrous thumb safeties, flat checkered mainspring housing, front trigger guard is serrated, and beveled magazine well. This gun includes the original factory box that is correctly custom shop end labeled and numbered to the gun, factory bushing wrench, factory seven-round magazine, manual (replacement Series 80 manual), and paperwork. The woodgrain Styrofoam insert box rates about very good showing light edge wear. The Gold Cups were usually bought and shot. This one escaped any use after it left the factory and remains a great find for the collector.
