Here is something a bit different from my recent 1911 posts:
This Colt Officers Model Target was shipped to the Union Hardware and Metal Company, Los Angeles, CA on March 28, 1930. 1930 was the first year for the OMT and this particular gun is very early having a three digit serial number.
Union Hardware and Metal Co. was first organized in 1872 and was a growing and prosperous business for many years, selling a wide array of products, including iron, steel and sheet metals, railroad and mining supplies, pipe, tubular goods, pipe fittings and brass goods, blacksmiths supplies, wood stock and hardwood lumber, mechanics' tools. Sierra cutlery, builders', shelf and heavy hardware, coal, coke, pig iron, house furnishing goods, tin and graniteware.
