1) I don't wouldn't pay even 10% of that for any gun
2) I wouldn't ever buy something I couldn't shoot
3) See #1, and repeat, ad infinitum
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I cannot imagine either paying that for one gun. I could buy my dream set of five Model 70 African Safari Big Five Rifles NIB and have enough left over to buy two new model 715's this Spring. for what that 1911 is bidding at! I am in awe or maybe more like disbelief at that auction..

Seller's probably wondering if he will ever see payment.

That is just crazy! It's currently at $27,725.00! You would think for that price it would have 100% coverage on the engraving...
Guess some folks just have more money than sense!

Makes sense that a custom Colt 1911 (Hartford, CT) in a custom display cabinet from Brookfield (CT) Cabinet, will go on sale from CT (maybe a Colt Exec is running the auction?). Since it's a fundraiser for the NSSF, which will be displayed at the SHOT Show, and close out on Jan 21, the last day of the SHOT Show, I'd guess that the final bid will be fulfilled.

I don't think it is worth that even if John Browning made it by hand yesterday.

I know some of you guys can't read so here it is:
This specially engraved Colt 1911 celebrating the 100th
anniversary of that acclaimed side arm and featuring the
Serial Number 1911COLT2011 is a featured 2011 SHOT Show
auction gun.
Typically, a milestone firearm such as this 100th
Anniversary 1911 ends up locked away in a museum, a company
vault or in a company executive's private collection. But
thanks to Colt and the National Shooting Sports Foundation,
this highly collectible handgun is being made available to
Colt enthusiasts world-wide.
This special Colt boasts unique engraving, grips and
features to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of
the Model 1911 and the Colt Company's role in the history of
that iconic firearm.
The left side of the gun features a prominent and
powerful hand inlaid gold inscription, "100 YEARS AT
AMERICA'S SIDE" and a gold-inlaid Rampant Colt.
The right side features large gold inlays including
"1911-2011" and the serpentine "Colt". In addition, the
serial number "1911COLT 2011" is hand-engraved and inlaid
with gold.
All engraving work is by Colt Custom Shop Master
Engravers, Steve Kamyk and George Spring. Engraving style is
American Scroll with "B" (50%) coverage. All metal surfaces
are polished and finished in Colt Royal Blue.
The gun also includes specially designed ivory grips
with gold-plated Colt 1911 Anniversary Medallions.
Special Bonus Trip to Colt
As a very special bonus, the high bidder will be
invited to visit the Colt Factory in Hartford, Connecticut
on March 29, 2011-the official 100th Anniversary
of the U.S. Army's approval of the 1911 as the U.S. Army
sidearm. Winner will be given a private tour of the factory,
will have lunch with Colt Management, receive a package of
special Colt logo items and collectibles and will have
photos taken with the Colt engravers. During this visit, the
high bidder will visit the Colt Historical Department and
will be presented with an official document authenticated
his Colt as the one and only 100th Anniversary
1911 featured as the 2011 SHOT Show gun and featuring the
historic 1911COLT2011 Serial number. And to top off this
special package, the high bidder will have the opportunity
to have his or her initials engraved on spare mainspring
housing as a keepsake or to have installed on their 1911.
Hotel and travel included but restrictions may apply.
The gun will be displayed in the Colt Booth at the SHOT Show
in a custom-made case by Brookfield Case. The case will also
become the property of the high bidder.
All proceeds from the auction of this historic firearm will
benefit the programs to further the Hunting Heritage Trust's
programs to further America's hunting and shooting sports
heritage.
The SHOT Show auction is administered by the Hunting
Heritage Trust for the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

That is a sharp looking 1911 but way out of my price range, besides I couldn't wait 28 days for the auction to end, then the 15 minute rule over and over and over again....
Then as stated above, it wouldn't be a shooter!!!
