Payment Types Accepted: Visa,Master Card, Discover,Check Description: This is a very rarely-encountered and limited-production Colt General Officer's Model Mk.IV Series 80 pistol in .45 ACP.  These rare guns were made in 1996 only, with a very small number of examples made before it was discontinued.  This particular example is 100% original and unmolested, and it is in excellent condition inside and out.  It comes complete with it's original box with the factory Styrofoam inserts inside and one factory-original 8-round magazine.  This is one Mk.IV Series 80 Colt that is definitely for the advanced Colt collector!   Most general gun collectors have never seen one of these anywhere, much less for sale.  This unique and cool model was built by combining a Colt Commander-sized frame with an Officer's Model-sized slide and barrel.  It features a spectacular mirror-like factory bright stainless steel finish rating 98% PLUS, special smooth Rosewood grips, a ring-style hammer, a beavertail grip safety, an arched mainspring housing, and dark-blue fixed 3-dot iron sights that give the pistol two little spots of nice contrasting colors.  The slide of this really cool and unique Colt is marked on the right side with " GENERAL OFFICER'S MODEL", and the left side is marked "Colt Mk.IV Series 80".  The frame carried the serial number of "SS26246".  As you can see from the pictures, this rare Colt has likely spent it's ENTIRE life in storage.  It is exceptionally clean and handsome, and we would bet a large sum of money that it has been factory test-fired only.  The front face of the slide shows no primer ring around the hole for the firing pin, the muzzle end of the barrel shows only a faint ring where it makes metal-to-metal contact with the slide when forward or in-battery, the chamber area of the barrel shows only very, very faint marks from rubbing inside the slide when the slide is worked, and the internal parts look pristine with no visible mechanical wear. This is really a special Colt that is rarely available on the collector's market.  If you are a serious Colt collector or if you just collect 1911-style pistols from any manufacturer, this Colt General Officer's Model Mk.IV Series 80 pistol would be a centerpiece addition that would be impossible to upgrade from in any meaningful respect.   SOLD Handgun Caliber: .45 ACP (.45 Auto) Manufacturer: Colt Model: General Officer's Model Mk.IV Series 80 Serial Number: SS26246 Barrel Length: 3 1/2 inches Condition: Excellent Metal Condition: Excellent Wood Condition: Excellent Bore Condition: Mint Action: Semi-Auto Finish: Factory Bright Stainless Steel Manufacture Date: 1996 Extras: w/ Original Box and Styrofoam Inserts Item Location: Kentucky
