I recently aquired a pre-70's serires Colt and would like some information about it. The pistol is a typical pre-70's Government Model except that it has the collect type bushing. Under the serial number are the letters BB. The BB also appears under the caliber designation on the barrel hood. The pistol is "NIB" if that can be said of a 30+ year old pistol. I am the first owner, brought it from a local gunshop that had keep it in the back room for over 30 years. I have all of the original packaging includeing the warrenty card. The pistol has never been fired. What do I have and what is it worth?
