I finally took possession of my latest acquisition today.
It is a 1979 mfr. Colt Mark IV, Series 70 as attested to by the barrel marking,
the collet style barrel bushing, and the short s.s. trigger, etc.. The thing
is...and this makes it quirky enough for me to want it...the slide is entirely
devoid of any marking at all...it be naked. But what a beauty she is in spite
...or perhaps because of...that.
For what it is, the price was more than right, and the wait was worth it.
