Sist Colt
I have a Sist Colt. It is marked on the right side of the slide, Sist Colt and Model 1927. Behind Sist Colt is a variation of the Argentina Crest. I have not been able to find an exact match for the crest but very close. The serial number is 56344. What is throwing me is there is no other 11.25mm or DGFM-FMAP,EJERCITO ARGENTINO or anything else on it. On the left side of the slide it is engraved with COLT in large letters and below that "CUSTOM COMBAT BY ULMER BROWN WILSON HYBRID BOYER VATERLAUS". It has been beautifully reworked by Wilson Combat with a hybrid ported barrel, muzzle break, skeletonized trigger work, hammer, magazine port guide, large magazine release, Bomar sights, Rosewood grips, knurled grip straps, extended grip safety and the front of the slide has been grooved for additional grip. Help...value, authenticity....???? I can take pictures if need be.

Parts gun made up on 1927 parts and many after market parts and sound like. a Quality build. Does the frame have any marks on side of trigger Bow.Or around the disconnector hole that is hidden with slide installed. The 1927 Slides and frames are first rate quality wise,hard without being brittle. 0 -
The only additional marking I can see is right above the serial number on the frame it appears to be something that looks like an upside down "T". No others...I forgot to mention it also has an extended ambedextrious safety. 0 -
Well, it started life as a Colt produced Argentine military side arm befor the DGFM FMAP markings were used...straight early contract gun. As far as the customizing work goes, I am unfamiliar with the variation...sorta soounds like everybody who was a custom 1911 maker had a run at it. 0 -
Custom work aside...what would be a ballpark value?...it has been refinished (most are) and in very good condition 0 -
I won't put a dollar value on it for you, but buyer interest is not going to be very high. A compensated single stack iron sighted .45 is obsolete for IPSC/USPSA and not allowed in IDPA at all.
Maybe it would suit bowling pin shooting.0 -

I was making an attempt at bull's eye pistol shooting in the 1970's. I wanted a hard ball gun and engaged a gunsmith to build one. I had a 1927 Argentine which the gunsmith said would be as good as a colt frame to build from. He built me a top notch hard ball gun that I still own. I never learned to shoot to the potential of the gun. All this is said to support the idea that you have a fine target pistol that has no collector interest and could probably not be sold for what is invested in it. 0
