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.

Colt WWII reproduction
Hi everybody. I wanted to share some pics of my Colt WWII repro. I've owned this pistol for several years but haven't been able to take pics and share them until now.

Hope you enjoy!

jmark, I see these WWII repros pop up every now and then on GunsAmerica. The price range is around $1500. I think the Blue Book value is about $950. I purchased mine back in 2002 for about $1100 (that's with the tax in the state of Washington). It was an impulse buy. I later learned that many of the details were not correct such as the trigger and hammer, but I still like the pistol, and it's still a Colt.

ColtCustom45, how did you do the lighting for the pic of your WWII repro? Did you set up the pic outdoors? The pic looks very nice. I took my pic indoors under halogen lighting, and it's not the best technique.

Piexcel, check your (I assume) digital camera for light settings, re- different light sources. You may find some setting specifically for halogen. It's not ideal, but it works.

Those are beautiful pistols. I'd love to find one of those but so far they have eluded me.

Colt WWII Reproduction
Here's my WWII 1911A1 Colt Repro with WWI Colt Repro. My WWII Repro does not have the US Property marking.

The "United States Property" marking should be on the other side of the frame on the A1 repro.
