Auction find. Colt Model 1917

[Jcordell]

Yeah the 520 soared past $600.00 with a jet rocket. I was figuring it would hit $1,000 but it stalled at $875. The 3" Model 65 went for $750.

No clips came with it, but I have several in my collection of miscellaneous "gun stuff". The funny thing is I almost skipped the auction. I figured I would be outbid on all the pieces that interested me. Guess the old adage about nothing ventured is nothing gained is true at times. This was just sheer dumb luck. In the past whenever I find a Colt New Service for sale it's either chewed up and very expensive or in great shape and ruinously expensive. I guess this was just kismet.
