Wood,

I hope the Model 52 turns out to be a good deal and you get it.

Meanwhile, as promised, here are pictures of the Colt 1911 Gold Cup in .38 Special. I paid $400 for the gun many years ago. $400 was a screaming deal then, and I presume the firearm has appreciated. One thing I noticed when I cycled this critter was that the slide to frame fit is the finest I have ever felt. Like glass.

Gotta love the three digit serial number. And notice the -MR suffix.

When you get that S&W Model 52, post back with a range report.

Best regards,

Ray
