Colt 1911 Spirit of America 45 ACP

Description

This TALO limited edition pistol is engraved in fine detail to celebrate the Spirit of America through symbols that reflect the strength and glory of our great nation.

The left side of the pistol features an American Bald Eagle soaring gracefully above the Rocky Mountains with Old Glory waving subtly above the horizon. The right side of the slide is engraved with an artist’s rendering of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial with an American Flag waving proudly in the sky. The scenes also feature 24kt gold and pure silver accents to bring out the brilliance of the art. Both sides of the slide are adorned with a flowing vine scroll that is highlighted with 24kt gold. The background of the scroll features a lightly engraved snake skin, a gentle reminder, “Don’t Tread on Me.”

The barrel bushing, slide stop, magazine catch, thumb safety, hammer and grips screws are bright brush finished and plated in 24kt gold. The grips are cherry wood symbolic of the legend of the six-year-old George Washington who, when confronted by his father, proclaimed, “I cannot tell a lie. I did cut it with my hatchet.”

The Spirit of America Edition is a one-of-500 limited edition with an ERS serial prefix denoting the eagle, Rushmore, and the stainless finish. The Colt Classic Government Model 1911 in 45ACP is the perfect canvas to commemorate these United States of America.
