Description:
                       Colt Model 911 NM Pistol - First Commercial Series      
It was purchased new in December 1963 and has only been in the possession of just two family members and in my care since of July 1991.  I have fired less than 50 rounds since then.  In july 2020 a Colt Representative verified the year of manufacturer and after reviewing the photos, he confirmed that this was an early 1960’s Cold Cup NM produced in 1963.  He added that this model was launced in 1957 and was officially identified as the:  “First Commercial Series”.  There is very little ware and is as near to new as possible, without being new.  Itt is fairly certain that it will be very hard to find another 58 year old First Commercial Series 911, in this condition? 
Applies to all listings: 
In 2002, the entire collection was professionally removed from wood and inspected for condition, then cleaned, lubricated and reassembled, by a very experienced and professional Gunsmith.   All received a clean bill of health and were considered to be in much better condition than appropriate for the age.  Because I was interested in maintaining as much of the original condition as possible, they have only been lightly cleaned and oiled by me. Because of this most rifles have some oil build-up in the tight places.   The entire collection has never out of a temperature-humidity, controlled environment.  Most post 1920 guns have been fired by a qualified gunsmith or range master, for reliability, functionality and safety confirmation.  I have fired a few, limited to a total of <200 rounds.
Firearms that are equipped for them have as-issued correct Bayonet and Scabbards, in very good condition. Most have period correct: Slings, clips and / or removable magazines.  All have the expected stampings and / or cartouches.  As far as I know, there are no reproduction replacement parts in this collection!   Some Government Arsenal Reconditions are included with clear markings of this reconditioning, and these are identified in the listing.
Based on my knowledge, all firearms are mechanically sound and complete. However, I am NOT warranting them as safe to fire. This must be determined by a qualified range master or gunsmith. All firearms are offered as collector’s items only.  Seller does not accept responsibility as to the shooting safety or reliability of any firearm.  The be really clear, a thorough inspection should be conducted by an experienced, reliable gunsmith / rangemaster, before even considering firing any gun.
Specific descriptions related to a Firearms are based on knowledge at the time of the listing.  
No Firearm is intentionally misrepresented and they are described as accurately and to the best of my ability, as possible. Please make your own determinations.  A 3rd party, totally independent gunsmith. Is available for consultation / condition confirmation, at the buyer’s expense.  Or, if you have a contact in the Tampa Bay Florida area, I’ll take it to them.  I am available to take phone inquiries. Between 9AM & 6 PM.  Most days.   
Abiding by and meeting any and all: City, state or federal regulations regarding the purchase or owning of firearms, or any item related to the firearm.  Such as clips, magazines, bayonets or any item listed or sold with the firearm, is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to abide by.
The Buyer must have a valid Driver’s License and complete the Florida Individual Person:  Firearm & Ammunition Transfer Disclosure Document, for every sale?  It only takes about 5 minutes to complete and besides it is a good thing for the Buyer to have because it provides the source of the rifle for the Buyer.  My complete contact information, DL and Carry Permit numbers are on this form.  Because an FFL dealer is the only person in the transaction that understands the regulations and laws of the Buyer’s state/city etc.; I will only ship to an FFL License, and the FFL Holder will need to contact me and provide a copy of the license, or at least the license number prior to shipping.
All taxes, fees, insurance, customs and / or any other non-firearm specific regulations, related to the listing is the responsibility of the buyer or buyer’s representative
Thank you for your understanding and agreement.
