Colt Gold Cup National Match

[norcal77]

There was no 60 series as far as I know, does it actually say 60 series on it?

They didn't even make stainless Old Cups when they were Series 70.

Correct, stainless steel models were first released in 1984 = Series 80

What the OP says is a "6" is probably an "8". Pete

[edgerly779]

OP already said 80 not 60.

"Gold Cups" are cool in a sense of the Colt branding and looks.
Elliason Target sights
Raised serrated rib in the slide
Slanted cocking serrations
"Wide trigger"

The models that are pre-series 70 are the one that would command $$$

the "new ones" are typically lacking the ribs on the top of the slide.

They are nice shooting 1911's though, esp for someone whos capable
