Have never seen a Interarms Colt 1911 import,seen plenty of P38's,Walters,Astras,etc,etc.
"Verrry Interesting" as Padredan would say.

Thanks for your reply. I think Interarms did import these back in the 70s and 80s. Didn't get an Interarms box. I remember actually visiting their warehouse/store in Alexandria when I lived in Burke in the mid-80s. Too bad I didn't get any of those goodies then! Most likely it has a British arsenal refinish since many of the other British contract Colts were refinished. I'll keep an eye on the GB British Colt - it's similar to a RAF WWI Colt I already.
