Hi Age,

Today - these go for about $800 - $1600, depending on condition - when you can find them. Great shooters..!! In fact, probably better then the S&W 52-1 or 52-2. Anyway - until reading this thread, I was going to shoot it. Now, though......

I'll probably have it chrome-dipped, install a set of grips with a "hammer & sickle", and put it on an Auction site as "RECENTLY DISCOVERED IN A LOST WAREHOUSE IN SIBERIA - Khrushchev's PERSONAL Colt. FROM WHEN HE VISITED THE COLT FACTORY, AFTER THE COLD WAR. THIS WAS A SECRET TRIP, SO IT WAS NEVER DOCUMENTED IN HISTORY....""... As for paperwork - I'm sure I can come up with something...

Amazing what people will buy...

Best to you!!!
