USFA or Uberti?

It's a 7.5 inch model, also came with two sets of truivory aged grips, second one was of the extended target style that passes past the frame. Got it back in 2010 for $1100.

Sounds like a very special gun, Congrads!  I've never seen one that came with the extended grip outside the catalog.  That and True ivory is  real treat.   Did you or family have it made or do you know any more on how it ended up with that serial number?  Do you have the original box and if so does it have an end label?  Is the frame blued or case colored?

2085B makes me think there might be a 2085A

Last I saw it was when I was back on leave in Texas. It has the factory antiqued finish on the gunslinger model. Hope the box label can provide more info. Had a receipt for the grips in the box, just waiting on those pictures so y'all can see what I've got. Cool thing is it had a test target from the previous owner shooting 250 grain Keith bullet over 17 grains of 2400. At 25 yrs the group looked pretty decent at 2.5 inches

I should probably leave this one alone, but I just can't help myself.  There is absolutely NO 1st gen Colt worth 16 Grand.  That is what is commonly called INSANE money for a lump of steel.  Not even if there was provenance it was owned by some incredibly renowned period Hero.  Of course, this is only my personal opinion.  It is also my personal opinion current USFA prices are artificially inflated by mindless "Collectors" who absolutely "must" have something.  We hear all the time .... buy a Colt.  Own a piece of History.  Horse Puckey.  Unless, again owned by some incredible famous individual, all it is ... just another Colt.  If it's a 3rd generation, it's also a Replicant.  There is nothing about a USFA that elevates it to "must be worship'd status."  It's just another Single Action.  Same same recent manufacture Colt.

AMEN !  You nailed it on the head, Coffinmaker.

So finally got those pics, thoughts guys? Also the box top has the 05 year stamp.

Really nice gun!  Thanks for the photos.  One of a kind there I suspect...unless you find "A". 

Looks like a 7.5" Gunslinger to me   Grips are over the top.  And a custom Serial number.
Does your box have an end label?

uh, is that rust?

[m.mac86]

According to my dad no end label on the box mores the pity. Nope no rust, that's the factory distressed finish

Yep, we call it rust

Gucci rust, kinda like pre ripped jeans I reckon.
