I was at the gun show today, and noticed a private seller trying to sell his gun. Turns out it was a Colt Gold Cup (Series 80). He says he bought it new in the late 80's. It looked like it was in good shape (good meaning it had a few scratches and some holster wear near the muzzle). The frame had been hard chromed, while the slide was blue. It also had an extended mag release and a few other little baubles. He wanted 650 for it, but was willing to take 600. I gave him my card and told him I'd consider it. Well, what do you think? I've been looking for a Gold Cup, but would rather buy a new one. This seems like a tough deal to pass up, though. Any thoughts?
