Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Made in 1981 to commemorate America’s greatest firearms inventor, this is a Colt Government Model 1911, one of Browning’s most iconic designs, which has been decorated in gold and has scenes commemorating Browning and the influence he has had on America. It was produced after 90 years of production and more than 3,000,000 Government Models produced with the 1911 serving as the standard issue sidearm of US Armed Forces through two World Wars and other conflicts. The pistol is a throwback to the original, with flat mainspring housing and no trigger relief cuts on the frame as well as a lanyard-loop magazine. It comes with a nice case that’s ready for display. For fans of Browning, Colt or the 1911 in general, this is the pistol well worth adding to your collection.
