Cylinder & Slide Colt 1911 US Navy 45ACP "The First 500" Rare LNIB
Description: Super rare mint condition unfired Cylinder & Slide US Navy 1911 45ACP “The First 500” semi auto pistol with original matching box, spare magazine, manuals and matching letter. An exact reproduction match of the first 1911’s that rolled off the Colt assembly line. Cylinder & Slide of Nebraska set out to recreate these pistols in 2009-2010. Originally set to only produced 100 pistols we believe less than 50 were made. Notice the attention to detail like charcoal/nitre blue finish (20 hours of hand polishing), 1911 frame, proper rounded rear sight, proper long trigger, proper checkering and contour on safety/slide lock, pinned base magazines, wide spur hammer, mag release screw and even the depth/color/head thickness and contour. Even the internal parts were fabricated to match the original Colt 1911 pistols. Retail price back in 2010 for the lucky few dozen who purchased these beautiful pistols was $5000. Cylinder & Slide’s still has details and updates on these pistols production if you want to do additional research. If you collect USFA auto's or early Colt pistols with high polish blue finish you will appreciate the level of detail, fit and finish of the Cylinder & Slide First 500 1911.
