Best.

Sergio,

I, also, have a British contract Colt 1911(1914) in Webley 455 Auto. I acquired it many years ago. It has been "improved" with nickle and gold plating. It is pretty, but I wish that it was still all original, but it is not. So goes the World. I will keep it, and shoot it occasionally with my "soft" reloads.
