COLT GOVERNMENT MODEL MARK IV/SERIES 70 — .45 ACP — ORIGINAL BOX

For sale is a classic Colt Government Model Mark IV/Series '70 in .45 ACP complete with its original matching factory box — a genuine rarity that collectors and enthusiasts will appreciate.

CONDITION:

The frame retains approximately 85-90% original blue finish with light wear on the carry edges and grip frame, consistent with careful use rather than neglect. All roll markings are sharp and fully legible: "COLT'S GOVERNMENT MODEL" on the left flat, "COLT'S MFG CO., HARTFORD, CONN. U.S.A." above the serial number on the frame. The bore is bright with strong rifling.

This Series '70 has been fitted with quality aftermarket improvements that enhance practical accuracy and shootability:

  - Adjustable target rear sight (Bo-Mar style) — properly fitted and zeroed
  - Custom front sight post
  - Slide has been refinished in a matte/satin finish (two-tone appearance)
  - Hogue Palm-Swell Checkered rubber grips
  - Original collet barrel bushing system intact
  - Barrel marked: COLT .45 AUTO / MK. IV / SERIES 70

All safety functions (thumb safety, grip safety, slide stop) operate correctly.

ORIGINAL BOX:

The original Colt factory cardboard box is included and the serial number label matches the gun. Label reads: Government Model / Mark IV/Series 70 / Finish: B (Blue) / Barrel Length: 5" / Caliber: 45.

The box shows age-appropriate wear but is fully intact — original-box Series 70s command a meaningful collector premium and this is the real deal.
