    Colt did half a dozen or so varieties of limited edition Delta Elite variants (Elite 10, Delta Gold cup, Combat Delta, Match 10, etc.) in the late 80s and early 90s. They are somewhat uncommon, but there's quite a few out there. Pricewise, they usually go for slightly more than a standard Delta Elite of the same vintage in similar condition.

    And post pics! we wanna see what is looks like!

    The grips don't look factory; my understanding is the "Elite 10" had checkered walnut grips. Looks like the trigger has been changed out as well. Is the grip safety blue or stainless? If original, it should be blued.

    It's had some work done to it. Grip safety is blued. Sights have been changed. guiderod is rectangular is that stock? Over all finish is very good.

    As previously stated, Colt had several runs of 10mm variants during the 80's and 90's. Usually under 500 per run, with each running being uniquely named.

    Mine is an ULTRA TEN.




    Note that mine is missing the original stocks as well. Value seems to run maybe a few hundred dollars more than the common Delta guns, with condition being a major consideration.

    Sounds like it should be a great shooter. The original guide rod should be a plastic type resembling a standard GI guide rod with dual nested springs. Many deltas have had springs and/or rods changed over the years though, especially if they've had other work don by a smith like a trigger and sights...

    10mm is a load of fun, I sure love my Delta.
