serial #EM1583, 45 ACP, 4 1/4" "Ultimate Match" barrel with an excellent bore. This beautiful multipurpose competition gun has many desirable features skillfully crafted by noted firearms manufacture STI International, who are now known as Staccato 2011.

serial #470427, 45 ACP, 5" Springfield Armory barrel with a near excellent bore showing light frosting along the edges of the lands. The metal surfaces of this late war gun have about 95% professionally reapplied arsenal grade blue, the flat mainspring housing is thinning to brown along with high edge wear, minor pinprick pitting at the muzzle, oxidation stains and sparse pitting showing under the new finish. It appears the gun was hot blued with extensive metal preparation as markings remain crisp overall. The double diamond checkered Colt right grip panel rates excellent as does the replacement Springfield Armory left panel. All the parts appear correct for the period and there is an off struck "[eagle] / S4" acceptance mark on the frame above the magazine catch. It includes a single two-tone Colt magazine with pinned base. A fine example of a 1911 for the upstart collector. (8A9772-3) {C&R} (1000/1500)

serial #20100, 38 Super, 5" barrel with an excellent, likely unfired,  bore. This very rare pistol was fashioned after Colt's pre-war 38 Super Auto with the same beautiful finish they used, Mr. Donnely of U.S.F.A. making only about ten of these lovely guns total. It retains about 99% plus original deep blue finish showing a few extremely minor operational marks on the trigger and grip safety. The double diamond checkered walnut grips rate excellent to as-new, and are slightly thinner and wider than normally found on Government Models giving the gun a nice feel and distinct look. The gun features a fixed front sight, drift adjustable square notch rear, long trigger, short tang grip safety and wide spur hammer. The pistol includes the original unmarked black leatherette hinged box, test target numbered to the gun, a pair of factory-marked two-tone magazines and a USFA marked cloth pistol sleeve. This lovely gun appears to have seen little if any use at all since leaving "The Blue Dome".  During the decade and a half they were in business, U.S.F.A earned a reputation for making quality firearms.
