Spaghetti western? Blasphemy! It was a TV show in the '50's, it's theme music was Rossini's "William Tell Overture".

High Ho Silver, away!

 
Not Colt, but related: I always wanted the Canadian Centennial 1867 - 1967 Winchester 94. Up until three or four years ago you could get one of those with a 26" octagon barrel for $500 all the time. Now...you can't! They were even drilled for a Williams peep sight.

I don't care for most of the Colt commemoratives. I'd get one cheap as a shooter, but that's about it. Would have to be a bargain. Reminds me of full-page catalog ads from my childhood...there were also gold-plated M1 Thompsons and the like!
 
was about to pull these bullet for sizing and such. I believe these bullets are also silver plated.

anybody know what WRA Colt 45 stand for?

these bullets will look good on my gun belt

don’t know why people don’t like them. has all the parts of the factory original. and nobody shot them, so if you wanted to feel what a off the factory floor 1964 Colt SAA feels like… this is it.
 
I resize new brass and fired brass. I wouldn't resize brass that I pulled bullets from. I bought 100 pieces of new 44-40 brass and one of them wasn't even bottlenecked.

these fake bullets are not consistent, some will chamber in the cylinder, some got crust, some are flaking. Just for my sanity.. pull, size, tumble!

bought that CLP you recommended, it’s very mild, I like it.

I saw Clayton Moore in person at a theater in Cincinnati when I was a kid.
We watched one of the Lone Ranger Movies and then he came out on stage riding Silver.
Every kid there got a "Silver" message cartridge.
If you pulled the bullet out of the case, you could write a secret message, roll it up and hide it inside the case!
He was THE hero to my "cap gun" generation.
His memorabilia does well at auction:
