Colt
 

Forgive me for,taking liberties with this forum. While it doesn't warrant a wall of honor posting, I thought it worthy .

As some may know, 2 June 2016 was the 40th anniversary of my graduation from The United States Military Academy at West Point, Army for short.

We were offered the opportunity to purchase a commerative 1911. There 4 options but I chose a series 70 Government model as thst was my sidearm. It was engraved by Baron. We've waited several months but they are in. Here are a couple picks.

I am generally not a fan of the commerative ones you see advertised in American Rifleman and such. They try to have a genealogy theme and there is something about the gold inlay look that I would worry about shooting it, also the value drops like crazy from the purchase. This one however is very nice looking. Honors your specific year and college and looks like something I would shoot. Congratulations on it and your reunion. Thank you for your service to our country!

Beautiful work!

That is some amazing iron, Sir. Well deserved.

Congratulations......well deserved.....carry and shoot it in good health

Outstanding and beautiful. Thank you for your service sir.
