good evening everyone, nice to see people pissed off and wanting to vote the liberals out.

anyways, i'm interesting in purchasing an original colt 45, with a low serial #, in the 11,###. the gun was made in 1913 or 1914, has canadian army markings on it, is all original, and has about 80% finish left on it. apparently, the gun was used in ww1 by a canadian army officer, who then passed it on to his son, who carried it in ww 2. the gun is part of an estate sale of the grandson/son of the ww1/ww2 officer. i know this to be accurate as i was aware of the history of the gun about 15 years ago, when the grandson was still alive, who let me shot the gun and told me about it's history. what makes the gun interesting to me is that it has the name, rank, serial number and unit, of the ww1 army officer on it. when he was carrying it, he belonged to the 1st canadian mounted rifles, who among other things, participated in one of the very few horse calvery charges of ww1. i have verified all this background by doing a bit of research. so, what would this gun be worth in view of the originality and history.

thanks, make sure you get out and vote on the 23rd
