Description:
COLT DELTA GOLD CUP – 10MM – HIGH POLISH ROYAL BLUE – MATCHING NUMBERED BOX – FACTORY FIRED ONLY – CIRCA 1989–1990 – EXTREMELY RARE
Price: $3,500.00
Offered by Peterson Collective is an exceptionally rare and highly desirable Colt Delta Gold Cup chambered in 10mm Auto, representing one of Colt’s most refined and limited-production offerings from the late 20th century. Manufactured during the initial Delta Gold Cup production period, circa 1989–1990, these pistols were produced in very limited numbers and are widely regarded as among the most collectible variants of the Delta series.
This example features the highly sought-after high polish Royal Blue finish, a hallmark of Colt’s premium craftsmanship, exhibiting a deep, mirror-like luster that sets it apart from standard production finishes. The pistol is fitted with a 5-inch barrel and remains in factory fired only condition, showing virtually no signs of use beyond original proofing. The overall condition is excellent, with sharp edges, crisp markings, and a presentation consistent with careful preservation.
Accompanying the pistol is its original factory box, correctly numbered to the firearm, along with factory paperwork. The presence of the matching numbered box significantly enhances collector value and authenticity, placing this example well above typical offerings. Complete and correct Delta Gold Cup pistols in this condition are increasingly difficult to locate, particularly with original packaging intact.
Mechanically, the pistol reflects Colt’s Gold Cup lineage, designed for precision shooting and enhanced performance within the 1911 platform. The 10mm chambering, combined with the Gold Cup configuration, provides both historical significance and functional capability, representing a notable period in Colt’s production history when the 10mm cartridge was gaining prominence.
The Colt Delta Gold Cup in Royal Blue is widely recognized as one of the most desirable modern Colt pistols, with limited availability and strong collector demand continuing to drive interest. Examples in factory fired only condition with matching box and paperwork are seldom encountered, making this a standout acquisition for the advanced collector.
Shipping is $35 to a licensed FFL. Payment accepted via credit card through GunsInternational checkout. Please ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations prior to purchase. Additional photographs and details are available upon request.
