An old friend of mine sold me one of his three Colts this week. 1984 Colt Gold Cup, Series 80, National Match. The slide is blued and the lower is nickel. The nickel is starting to chip and wear in places. I looked around online and found a guy in Florida to refinish it for around $350.00. I was telling a buddy at work what I had and he told me to call Colt. Ten minutes later, $140.00 plus $30.00 shipping costs to get the gun redone. It will take 6-7 months but I don't care. This gun is beautiful and I want a awesome finish. F.Y.I., I paid $400.00 for the gun. Did I get a good deal? I think so. The gun feels really tight.
