Well my Gold Cup finally arrived. It looks just like the picures already posted. I called Colt and learned the date of manufacture was 1985. For a 26 year old gun, it is in pristine condition.

Right now, workman are replacing my kitchen floor (water damage) and my house is in upheavel. After the chaos is over I will disassemble and frog lube the gun. I will also put on a pair of Sarge's Ironwood grips (I had been planning on putting them on the Commander when it returns from the Colt Custom Shop) that I want to see how they look.

Happiness is a new (to me) 1911.
