All of the Miniart miniatures I have ever seen were actually made on contract by a company named “Ordo” in Moscow, & their serial numbers start with the letters “OR”. This one does not, & I believe that this one was actually made by Miniart, maybe as a prototype for Ordo to work from, but who knows. A really interesting Miniart Colt 1911 variation. Mint new condition. Stock # JT-33. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
