Curious About Your Colt M27 Argentine Sistema?

[whatever]

I had one of those. Bought it from Imbert and Smithers a few years ago. Damned fine pistol. Mine was an Ejercito Argentino branch. Sold it to fund a .45 SIG.

From what I remember, the first early ones were actually manufactured by Colt, and that a short while afterwards production moved to Argentina under license. Sorry, don't know any production dates or serial numbers, just the rantings of a true Colt hoarder who used to jump on those early Argintinian 1911's as well as anything marked "Colt".
