This is a well travelled Navy Colt. It was in the first shipment to the Navy, plus was assigned to the USS DELAWARE and later it was assigned to the USCG!! And best of all, it is still all correct, amazing!!!!!!

It does not get much better than this!!!!!!!!!!!:icon_lol:

Mine did not fare as well through the years as #810 did... But they were shipmates!
