Colt's original WW1 replica, the Model O1911, was a limited run of 4,000 pistols. When they decided to continue offering it, in order to respect those who had bought what was advertised as a limited production item, the finish was changed and it was re-designated as the Model O1918.
I was looking for one of the original O1911 models on the Internet recently, and it doesn't appear that anyone is selling them. Has anyone seen one offered for sale recently? Does anyone have any idea what I might expect to pay for one if I find one?
