colt21a Posted January 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 yes the holiest of all holy grail's,"the white lettered colt" this was a special run from a little old italian winemaker, the story go's colt had a strike in july 21 so they needed some help a few italian winemakers looked for work,colt hired them as temp's............ they did the white lettering,so collector's over half a century later could ask $50,000 for these model of 1921 or the local dude at brownell's can sell you now!!! so these are the coveted colt's............if you have one on a cherry 1921/28 thats more dough to you........... and if you have a military used in the battle of iwo........{all marines will know that one,} don't ever be misguided by the crayola replica's done in the 70's......or the gold ed.in the 90's.......... they bring much less............wink!! and when they smear..a phooootagrapher's nightmare!!! and to all a goodnight,take care,ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Whomever posted the only $10K value must be privy to the same undisclosed sources Mike (Full Auto) has, or their info is 10 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Jr Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Me and Mike have both bought 21A's for 3000 apiece from a bunch of real stupid guys. He got one and I got one. Both have ORIGINAL Number 26 parts in them and we are going to offer YOU, Arthur, the pair for the bargain basement price of only one million dollars. Each. You could at least have some original parts for your copy.

StoryforU Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 As a barometer, the 1936 AO catalog had a pricetag of $175 for a 1921 w/o Cutts. Adusted for inflation, that's $2,208.05 in 2002 Dollars. The $225 1928 would be $2,838.92. http://www.westegg.com/inflation/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
