On the wings of RGN 21818, I collected my Field Grade from my FFL yesterday. I'd intended to ask for a Field Grade all along, so no Service Grades available didn't bother me much. That said, I'm not sure this specimen should not have been a Rack Grade. Light pitting on the front strap and some little dings here and there. If it was refinished it's been handled plenty since then. October 1975 Anniston rebuild marks. Happy face for the 1944 Colt frame, sad face for the "GI replacement slide" (the one thing I was hoping to avoid). Barrel is an '84 TZ replacement. Tight gun, everything well fitted, decent trigger. It will be a good shooter. I'm trying to think of it as a Col War relic since I'm one too.
