    1914 Colt

    My 1914 Colt arrived today and I am a happy camper. This pistol certified original by Scott Gahimer. A novice like me need not be guessing. She shows honest wear with no abuse. Regards, Rick.

    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.

    Thanks, Rick. I'm very happy you like the pistol. It's not too common to find a well worn 1914 that hasn't had a bunch of parts swapped out on it.

    That pistol is also in a transitional serial range. One of the first with the 1913 patent date, one of the last with the early Colt small parts with the smoky blue color.

    I like the fact the early recoil spring guide has survived with the pointed tips. So many were broken off and had to be replaced. The firing pin stop plate is still the early type, too.

    You can never know where all the wear came from, but at least we can know it remained intact after all these years.

    Hello Scott. I realized early on that collecting these without expert advice is like running through a minefield. Since these pistols are very expensive in any condition, paying a few extra dollars for one that is correct with documentation to me, is a no brainer. The service you provide to the 1911 collectors, both novice and advanced, is simply outstanding. Thanks for pointing out some of the interesting details in regards to my Colt. Respectfully, Rick.
