I think that is a Thunder Ranch Special. Wished I could afford the Premier II 1.5 inch.

There's a chance that you'll void your warranty if you don't go directly through Les Baer since some parts might need to be refitted, I called and asked after I read about it at M1911.org

Those are three VERY nice looking 1911s you've got there, I'm in awe. The rear sights look very Rogers-esque though -- I had heard Rogers was going to work with a manufacturer to market a production version, are those said sight or am I imagining things? (I'm going to assume you didn't send 3 already top notch pistols to one of the most heavily backlogged 1911 smiths in the world.)

I hate Novak sights. IMHO they suck and are non-functional (one handed malfunction drills). All my 1911's wear Hilton Yam's 10-8 rear sight. The rear sports a U notch and is fast to pick up. I will not use anything else period on my 1911's. ![]() |

Just bought this one today at the auction in SF. It's a Colt Commander Lightweight in .38 super. Had the original box and papers included.
Anyone know how I can tell what year it was made in? The serial number is 523XX-LW. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

A serial numer of 523XXLW would indicate a manufacture date of middle to late 1967, which would be correct for that box. ( "Colt's Dates of Manufacture" by R.L. Wilson, ISBN 0959199101 - Page 40 under Commander Model. // The same info can be found in R.L. Wilson's "The Colt Heritage" under plate 10 at the back of the book, right facing page, ISBN 0671248278. A brief description appears on page 244 of that book. ) When I saw your photo, without checking my guides, 1968 instantly came to mind because of the distinct small gold-script wood-grain looking box is identical to the box for my own 1968 Commander and my 1968 Colt Python 2 incher. VERY nice gun - and in .38 Super! You done good!! ![]() .

What auction? Now, the only stuff I could find in my quick look-round was on ColtAutos.com. They didn't have serial number info for the LWs though. They did have the following info on the regular guns: Quote:

I believe all "stainless" models offered by Kimber are of satin/stainless finish. The stainless Gold Match is the only model w/ the high polish finish similar to what SA's, etc offer. |

Unfortunatley no, it was "de-holy'd" by the previous owner among other things. On the upside, it still shoots like a 70GC; glass trigger, accurate, etc. I plan to give her a makeover eventually.
