The Colt serial number is on the rear of the cylinder latch and on the frame, near the cylinder crane. The number was also marked in pencil on the inside of the grips. The left-swinging cylinder has six chambers and is opened by pulling back the classic bell-shaped latch that shows the serial number on its rear face. Dec 19, 2011 Colt ceased production of Series 70 Gold Cup pistols in 1983 supposedly. That serial is in a format only used on Series 80 pistols made after 1983. My guess is 1984 or so. Looking at the revolver, I'm thinking it's about the same age. But without a serial number it can't be known for sure. Do you want me to upload the images you sent me?-T. Colt 1911, serial number 5, was THE gun used in the 1911 trials In the decades following the gun's rise to fame, dozens of companies have put their own spin on the platform, but there's an allure that still surrounds the pistols made by Colt.

Disclaimer: This list is correct to the best of my knowledge, however, I accept absolutely no responsibility for the accuracy of this information or for the consequences and/or damages occurring from any inaccuracies. I have compiled this list for the purposes of sharing information only. This is not intended to be used in any way except for personal entertainment. It is a compilation of both personal information and information submitted from others, mostly from the Internet. ALL SERIAL NUMBERS SHOULD BE VERIFIED FROM THE MANUFACTURER PRIOR TO ANY PURCHASE OR ASSEMBLY. It should be clearly noted that it is a felony to possess a Post-Ban (newly assembled after Sept 13, 1994) assault weapon. Please note that BATF has ruled that 'Pre-ban' and 'Grandfathered' are two different things. A Pre-ban lower is only grandfathered if it: 1. was a complete rifle prior to 9/13/94; 2. possessed two banned features (pistol grip and CAR stock assembled); or 3. was part of a complete weapon kit, either assembled or not. This list does not discern between 'Pre-ban' and 'Grandfathered' as it is very nearly impossible to find that detail of information. If any information presented here is found to be incorrect or you have additional information to contribute, please contact me via E-Mail (hkusp40@midmaine.com) and I will update and re-issue the list. Note:All items marked with a single asterisk (*) are taken from http://home1.gte.net/bblakley/ban/index.htm. Firmware upgrade ipod. The year/serial numbers under Colt SP series was forwarded to me by an individual whose return address I no longer have. Double asterisk (**) under Bushmaster, a person on the internet e-mailed me that he had a lower that was shipped stripped (thus not a complete rifle) in 1991 from Bushmaster with serial #0327XX - ALWAYS CALL TO VERIFY. Finally, BATF has allowed some pre-ban damaged to be replaced with post-ban lowers with numbers outside the ranges given below while retaining the grandfathered status. They will send a letter documenting this and allowing the original manufacturer to proceed with the replacement. Colt (800) 962-COLT |

Pete has been an unherladed force behind many tothe top 1911 shooters and gunsmiths in the country for more than 25 years. Pete's additional features include the precision 25 lines per inch checkering on the contours of the frontstrap of the pistol. His checkering is felt immediately and is remarkable when viewed up close. The frontstap is blended into what Colt calls a 'High Enhanced' trigger guard cut. Colt's Custom shop charges $345 for those frontstrap features alone. Pete then does a complete mag well bevel.

Our changes are subtle and highly custom. The slide flats are polished to royal blue. The custom roll-mark is simple and to the point. The front strap is precision checked to 25 lines per inch. The mag well is fully beveled. The barrel features a precision recessed muzzle crown.
The top of the slide is custom serrated 30 lines per inch in an arrowhead pattern. The slide stop top edge is beveled. Custom enhancements like there are very expensive in the aftermarket. Master Metalsmith, Pete Single designed and executed these custom features as his contribution to the project. https://petesingle.com
The USA 1911 is finished with unique and classic Colt wood grips. The edition will be limited due to current production restrictions. The final number has not been determined.
The USA Classic 1911 features a unique serial number prefix 'USA'. The goal of our partnership with Colt and Pete is to raise money for the USA Shooting Team. The delay of the Olympic games this year makes the need to finance our USA team shooters even more important. Our team must raise funds privately to compete against countries whose shooters are completely publicly sponsored. It is our belief that when a USA team member mounts the Olympic podium it shines a very favorable light on our entire shooting sports community. A portion of the proceeds of this edition will be donated to USA Shooting.

The first 25 serial numbers are hand engraved: Gold Medal Editions

The project will end with the final 500 units built in Nov. 2020. We are very grateful to Pete and Colt for allowing us to make these pistols. We guess that history will judge it to be a good decision
