I paid $205.07 for a brand new Series 70 Colt Gold Cup in 1974 but it seemed like a lot of money at the time. I still have the pistol and regularly compete with it in Bullseye matches.
On 8-6-69, I paid $115.50 for a nib Colt Government that I no longer have anymore. Of course, as nate45 explained, money now isn't the same as money then.
