Gov\'t Model Mark IV/Series 70 Satin Nickel&blued
I have come across two Gov't. Model Mark IV/Series 70 .45 ACPs with satin nickel frame and slide and blued trigger, barrel, bushing, plunger, grip safety, thumb safety, and slide stop. One, with Pachmayr Colt medallion grips, is described as a "...Dual-Tone 70-Series Transition... Very Scarce Limited Production Model...A Very Late 70-Series with the 80-Series 'New' Firing Pin 'Schwartz Safety'!"; the other, in a store and with walnut checkered Colt grips, as "...probably converted with aftermarket parts." I don't know if the one in the store has the Series 80 firing pin safety. Anyone familiar with this?
Thanks.
Marc
