Hi all, I've come across this time and again, and it has tweaked my interest:
http://www.e-sarcoinc.com/colt1911a11930original-bestgrade-1-1-1-1-1-1-1.aspx
It's a Ballester Molina, worn and with faded finish but supposed to be functional, $299. Note- I have no NEED for it, but I have always liked the 1911 style, and I've always wanted to pick up a beater for the right price. Something I could get for cheaps and maybe clean up, re-blue, that sort of thing. I'd actually prefer old blued or parkerized over new and shiny.
Has anyone else got one, or other experience with Sarco (or Ballesters, I've read they are solid if not quite the same)? Or a lead on a similar deal? Thanks,
Dave
