return of an old friend
I traded this Colt Gov't model off about 10 years ago and have missed it ever since. (moment of weakness) it was made in 1951 and built as a bullseye pistol in 1966 by a gunsmith in KCMO. I bought it in 1996 in Leavenworth, KS from the gentleman who had the work done and shot it in competitions for 30 years. today in the LGS the owner's son pulled it out of a rug and asked me what I thought about it. I told him I thought it was made in 1951 and built up in 1966. his eyes got all wide and asked me how the heck I knew that. then I told him I used to own it. he asked if I wanted to own it again and we came to a quick agreement. it's back home to stay. lee
