Serial # 8465-NM was made in 1961.  The Two piece Box is marked Gold Cup on end  and has matching serial number on bottom and comes with cleaning rod, wax paper, warrenty card and instructions for the Gold Cup National Match. . Left side of slide is stamped National Match but Gold Cup is not stamped on gun. As to condition,  it has the extra high polish blue finish used for Match models.  Also the fine adjustable sights and adjustable trigger. Gun shows little use and retains litterally all of the original finish except it looks like this gun had some oversize targt grips as there is 2 little  wear spots  on left and right where finish is gone and looks like it had a pair of target oversize stocks on it at one time. Otherwise,  99% high polish blue finish.  These early National Match pieces are considered the finest automatic ever made by Colt.
