This is a great gunshow find-an elderly gent had this sitting on his table at the last show. At first glance it looks like a plain Colt '70 series but it is actually a King's Gunworks custom-note the King's 206C grip safety, hammer, bushing and thin slotted screws. It also sports a lowered and flared port done in the King's style. Internally, a match sear and King's 4-leg sear spring reside. A beautiful bluing job with the lightest carry bevel tops it off. A very classy, Colt retro custom.
After a few minutes it was clear the seller had no idea what he had. I was certain what he had. We made a deal for less than the going rate of a used, stock Colt. When I got home I found it had a $50 WW2 magazine in the butt. A good day at the show! One of those days where doing my homework paid off. Now I remember why i have all those old books and magazines laying about....
