This example stands out with elegant gold accents tastefully applied to the hammer, safety, slide release, magazine release, and barrel bushing, adding a touch of luxury to its classic profile. Both the front and rear of the slide are adorned with intricate laser-engraved floral scrollwork on each side, enhancing its visual appeal and giving it the distinguished look of a presentation-grade firearm.
According to the owner, this example is in NEW OLD STOCK condition, and we see no evidence to suggest otherwise.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt O1911C-38 from the 1911 Classic Series is a faithful homage to the original Government Model pistols manufactured before the advent of the Series 70 design, making it a compelling choice for purists and collectors alike. Chambered in the venerable .38 Super, this full-size 1911 features the legendary Series 70 firing system, which omits the firing pin safety found in later models for a smoother trigger pull and historically accurate function. With its National Match barrel, pre-70 series roll marks, spurred hammer, and staked front sights, the pistol embodies the aesthetics and performance of Colt’s golden era of 1911 production. The blued steel slide and frame, combined with the classic short trigger and single-sided safety, reinforce the gun's period-correct design while maintaining modern reliability.

Functionality aside, the O1911C-38 is also a visually striking firearm. It’s outfitted with double diamond checkered rosewood grips that not only provide a solid grip but enhance its classic appearance. At 35 ounces, the all-steel construction contributes to reduced felt recoil, particularly beneficial when shooting the hotter .38 Super cartridge. With a 9-round capacity and the precision of a National Match barrel, this pistol is as suitable for target shooting as it is for appreciating as a finely built example of Colt craftsmanship. The Colt 1911 Classic in .38 Super isn’t just a throwback—it’s a celebration of American firearms heritage and a reminder of why the 1911 design remains so revered over a century after its introduction.
