Train Robber 13659 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I recently picked up 1960 new model centennial 1860 in a package deal in it's original box. Not new but pretty nice shape. serial 30xx. Good ,bad, indifferent? Has what appears to be genuine case hardening . Thanks, Train Robber Thanks to Goody for the link!!

Goody, SASS #26190 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Very high quality. My understanding is that were licensed to be built in Belgium by Colt. All original tooling, produced around 1960, thus the Centennial name. There is a whole society devoted to the collecting and study of these. There is a man who frequents Cas City who would love to have pictures and full details of what you have as they are always looking for new finds. http://www.1960nma.org/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Train Robber, you don't give much information about your whereabouts. I understand that. There is a Colt Collector show on Oct 3-4 at the Embassy Suites in Concord, NC, about twenty miles northeast of Charlotte. I attended this show a couple of years ago after shooting a CAS match that day. They were quite interested that I actively shot a Colt Bisley made in 1902. It was not a collector-grade gun and was in great shooting condition. It is a show worth getting to if you want to see some very cool Colts and have yours looked at by very knowledgeable people.

Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Our good pard Long John's Wolf in Germany is a leading authority on these pistols. He chimes in here sometimes so maybe he will see this. He usually comes to our annual match here in the TX Panhandle so I will ask him if he does not chime in here on this thread before then. IIRC the 1960s are made on the old Colt machines and tools and are a continuation of the 1860 models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
