COLT IS SELLING OUT! 
Well not exactly. What they are doing is liquidating their Colt Factory Firearms Archive Collection. That means literally hundreds of rare and unique experimental models, prototypes, mock-ups, cut-away’s, and much, much more.
There are guns of all kinds – pistols, revolvers, (both single and double action) as well as second generation cap & balls). I was fascinated and amazed at some of the things I saw. Many I suspect, were never seen outside the Colt factory, so this is a unique experience because after they are auctioned off they will most likely be in private collections and off limits to the public. Therefore THIS IS YOUR ONE AND ONLY CHANCE TO SEE WHAT IS THERE!
You only have a short time. The auction will be held tomorrow (January 18, 2009, 3:30 pm PST) at Greg Martin Auctions in California. If you log in on to the link listed below you can view what is up for auction. Be sure to click on the thumbnail pictures so that you can see a larger one, and you can download those larger pictures to your computer. If you want you can follow the auction to see what the winning bids are, but I strongly suggest that you go as soon as possible to view the collection before the frenzy starts. For those that are interested in Colt handguns there is something for everyone – and then some. There is also an excellent collection of original frontier era Colt’s going on the block, including a “Texas” model Patterson and a Walker.
Beats looking at the boob-tube by far, and you might learn something.
