George, I dont wish to agrue. I was looking for an opinion about the difference in the grip profiles. A difference that is obvious when compared to other originals.
I onlly wish knowledge, no tension. With tensions, we loose focus on learning.
Repos can be totally left out of the discusssion.
That top '60 Army DOES have a different grip profile than the many other original image links I posted.
I only wish knowledge about this anomoly, not an argument.
Rather buy you a coffee and us both wonder why this one is 'slightly' different..
The ageing can be left totally out,,as yes,,,,I conceded.. all guns do not recieve the same treatment in their lives.
But, the grip profile is different that the basic '60Army design, either civilian or military
The barrel looks to be more near 7" than 8" also.
I think I will send that image to Colt,,,who knows,,,they 'might' have an answer for us....
(again, no need to even consider repos at this point)
And yes, the coffee offer is good anytime ! Take care hoss,
Marshal Deadwood In the end, this will have little effect on us George,,,we both are terminal. Lets slide toward the finish line as friends , ok?
