Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 1/5 scale Colt 1911 A1 made of solid 14 karat gold with black mother of pearl grips by master jeweler Alex Baez of California & Herschel Kopp of Ohio. 1 3/4″ long overall with a 3/4″ barrel of about .068 caliber. All the parts are solid 14 karat gold, except for the steel springs, the black pearl grips, and the brass grip screws. This piece is fully functional and will feed, chamber, extract, and eject the six included solid brass dummy cartridges. Functional thumb and grip safeties. The left side of the slide marked “COLT, AUTOMATIC, CALIBRE 45″, along with the rampant horse Colt logo. The bottom of the magazine marked 14K”. The right side of the slide faintly marked in two plates “A. FLETCHER”, which I assume is a past owner. The rear of the slide properly serrated on each side, as are the arched mainspring housing and the slide release. The slide spring bushing and magazine release are checkered. The black mother of pearl grips are held in place by two brass screws on each side. Includes the original Herschel Kopp hinged top silver casing. The interior bottom semi-French fit and lined in a green felt. The interior top lined in the same green felt. The case top with cast in scrolls surrounding a plain unadorned oval. The piece is in excellent near mint condition showing only the slightest signs of having been handled. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
