15-20 years ago Colt came out with a close copy of the WWI 1911 and WWII 1911A1 and both came in the blue collectors boxes. They are pricey now but I believe that is one that’ll continue to go up and make a great safe queen. The early WWI models were finished in the nice Carbonia bluing which looked great. I owned one of each but stupidly sold both not long after getting them.
Here is one of those reproduction 1911A1 by the Colt Custom Shop ^^^^^. WMK serial number. Less than 3,000 made. Mine is not a safe queen. I have all the paperwork and boxes. Bought it off Gunbroker about 15 years ago. They were made in 2001. Has a parkerized finish. Does not have the series 80 firing pin block feature. Shoot it instead of my all original 1943 Ithaca 1911A1 which I only shoot about once a year no more than a couple of magazines. Ithaca in the right hand photo.
