I'm not specifically familiar with the Colt your requesting information on. That said, for marketing purposes Colt starting in the 90's would put out limited runs of Model "O" pistols with different names marked on them. Value like everything else would be based on demand. I have never seen any data giving specific names and numbers produced, of these pistols? Perhaps if you do a GOOGLE search for Colt 1911 Collector sites you will be able to find out how many of each particular variation Colt actually made. 0 -
Does it have an Officer's slide, full size frame and parkerizing?

Please post pics. 0 -
I believe this was issued under the "Tank Commander" series, a Series 80 officer's Model 1911 made in the 1990's as evidenced by the "TC" serial number. 0 -

Thanks, Extreme Velocity, that's the kind of information that's much appreciated in this forum. 0 -
That pistol is hard to find information about. I just happened to know about it since I used to have one. [:)]
Found an old Jerry's Sport Center dealer's flyer (Spring 1991) with this gun advertised ---0
