I'm in, too!
I hardly call myself a collector, unless one considers that I've been the proud owner of this little gem since 1991. Colt Mark IV Series 80 Lightweight Officer's .45 ACP. I still have the original box and owners manual, too. It is the only Colt we own, and we are not about to part with it. Everything is stock; I've not modified or customized it in any way. I taught my now-grown kids to shoot handguns with it and it is now my concealed carry weapon. Colt has verified that it was built in 1990 and my next step is to get it lettered.
My compliments to the true Colt collectors who've posted their treasures on this thread. Pride in ownership is evident, and since I've joined Colt Forum I'm pleased to see that I'm not the only Colt lover around!
