Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present this HOLY GRAIL 1977 Colt Gold Cup National Match MKIV 1911 semi-automatic pistol. Chambered in the powerful .45 ACP with a 5-inch match grade barrel, this Series 70 masterpiece represents the pinnacle of Colt's target pistol production. As a vintage National Match, it features the hand-fitted elegance and precision that have made the Gold Cup a legendary name among competitive shooters and elite collectors worldwide.
This spectacular firearm is finished in a breathtaking Colt Royal Blue that radiates a deep, mirror-like luster across its sharp, flat surfaces. The pistol features exquisite floral scroll Factory Hand Engraving on the frame & slide and is marked on the right side of the grip frame “COLT ENG” denoting it as a authentic Colt Custom Shop engraved firearm. It is perfectly appointed with its original factory checkered walnut grips, featuring crisp checkering and vibrant gold Colt medallions. The pistol showcases the signature wide adjustable target trigger and adjustable Elliason rear sight, maintaining the classic silhouette of the world's most refined 1911 target pistol.
Included with this investment-grade treasure is the rare Colt Custom Shop orange leatherette presentation case, complete with its plush interior and gold-embossed lid. The case remains in excellent shape inside & out but does exhibit some wear at the inside hinges. This firearm remains in collector grade condition, showing only faint superficial freckling with the trigger exhibiting some minor black discoloration typical of age. This 1977 specimen is a premier "blue-chip" asset that offers exceptional historical and financial value for the serious Colt connoisseur.
