No, Sir. It is a Colt Gold Cup 1911. In .45ACP. Made in 1972. Originally Posted by earcutter

Thanked: 161 Cleaning related story.
Dad gave each of us kids a 1908 Colt Vest Pocket .25 semi-auto. (I now have 2- I inherited his). One of them (I’ve lost track of which was his) turned 100 this year.
In order to field strip them for cleaning you hold the slide partway back and turn the barrel to take it apart or put it back together.
I was cleaning the oldest one and the gun slipped, from my hands. The slide went one way, the frame another, barrel, guide rod and spring went another. I located all of the pieces, but could not find the firing pin. I tried bumping the slide into the palm of my hand, nothing. I looked everywhere, but no firing pin. I was beginning to panic. So I got on the net searching for a 100 year old firing pin. I found ONE for $50 on eBay. All the time I was waiting on it to be delivered I was kicking myself over losing the original.
When the “new” one arrived I quickly tried to install it, no luck. I looked at the slide and compared the two.
Upshot, the firing pin was still in place. Not all was bad though, I did wind up with a spares.
