Another Colt 1917

**m1crazy** · 03-30-2009 08:23 PM

I bought this Colt in 1988 it is my only colt that I own. In 2003 when you could openly use the Springfield research service I ran the serial number and I had a hit. It seems that it was "lost" in 1923.

So I have a little provenance on where this pistol was at one time.

So enjoy the pics.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

The documentation adds greatly to the value of the gun in my opinion (not necessarily $ value). Great piece & great story.
