Colt "Classic" .45 1911 Auto
There is a Colt "Classic" .45 auto for sale on GB. The entire gun has a deep shiny blue with wood checkered grips. On the slide in GOLD letters it says "Classic .45" and toward the rear it has a Gold Colt Horse. Would anyone know if this is a Colt original or an aftermarket?
Also...when were these made available and how many were made? Many Thanks!!!

Well, you left out one important detail: the seller calls it a "Colt Springfield Armory Classic". You also forgot to give us a link to the auction.

I can see why you asked; it is a strange one. It's not listed in S. Fjestad's Blue Book of Gun Values. It looks like a Colt based on the frame markings & owners manual. So, where does "Springfield Armory" come in? The seller has several guns listed; maybe he confused a couple of them. If I were considering it, I'd ask the seller for a photo of the box end label, & a close up of the (complete) serial number. (If it's a Colt-decorated special edition, it should have a unique SN prefix.)

I agree with Tommyjoe it also has the 1911 type long trigger and straight mainspring housing not like a 1911A1 but the super high polish blue will be hard to keep looking fresh. 0 -
Looks like the SN starts SFLDA with 2 number following. 0
