All original. Grips, 2 tone magazine with lanyard ring. Pistol was carried more than shot. It's got a patina, but locks up tight, doesn't rattle, and has great rifling. Just thought I'd share. I love old Colt's! Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!

Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
