Not a guru on COLT, and sorry to Doug, this one is cute but .... it's a reblued. "mint original" exists in the U.S. because there are plentiful of guns, certain percentage will fall into that category. Let's see the following making any sense to you or not -- When there are more guns than 'soldiers', then, some guns were seldomly used. In movie "Enemy At The Gate", we saw Russian had more soldiers than guns, so most imported guns from Russia were reblued regardless it's a captured Luger or CAI MN44. This 'soldier'/gun ratio decides gun condition from high level. There is a regional context in the gun condition and collectibility.
