"Jelly" (Jealous, as the kids say today)!
Love the Colt 1911. I have Colt 1911 s/n 243xxx on layaway as we speak. It was nickel-plated, but it looks like it wasn't buffed hardly at all (edges not too rounded off, etc.), and IIRC, all markings are present... Thinking very seriously about having the plating removed and getting it refinished if something close to the original finish can be applied.
Here are a couple of pics of my WW1 commemorative. As an interesting side note, this pistol is (with the replacement grips) almost identical to one owned by Elvis Presley! Thus I call this one: "The King"!
