PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

What does anyone think?
This happens to be at the shop where I buy my guns from so I have a strong desire to grab this.....I do not know much about Gold Cups at all so what does everyone think? Good deal? I really do not need it but like I said it seems to be singing out to me !!!!!

Thanks in advance for the help......

You can get a new one for the same price or less.

Yes, you can get a new Series 80 Gold Cup Trophy, but not a new Series 70 Gold Cup National Match....last made in 1982 and they are a little different. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but assuming this gun function checks ok and appears as good in real life as the photos, IMHO this is a very reasonable auction price. If I didn't already have one just like it, I'd be bidding!

TomB,
Wow, that's a beauty, and I bet you wouldn't part with it for the auction price on the initial post....You must have a lot of self control...I would not be able to resist the urge to shoot it. Very nice.

I'd jump on it ruggles if your wanting a Gold Cup. It is worth more than a new gold cup trophy. Typically in good condition series 70 gold cup national matches will fetch $1000 or more. Being at a shop you frequent I'd say you could likely get it for $900.00. Give it a shot.

I have to agree that the price it too high.
This is a releatively early Series 70 Gold Cup with the large slide markings. Happen to like those, but the value would be about $800-$850.

If it actually was mint, then $950 would be a good deal. But, knock at least 10% off for the huge idiot scratch. I can't believe how many Colts I've seen that appear to be almost NIB, or unfired, but with "the scratch". Yeah, it's never been shot, but I took it a part a half-dozen times . . .
