Off the wall question but -

I am looking for old owner's manuals and was wondering if anybody knew of a source. Specifically looking for Colt owner's manuals and boxes.

Thanks!

  They are listed on e-Bay all the time.Be prepared to pay big money for them though.The older manuals and boxes don't go cheap.You might have better luck picking them up at Gun Shows--

  I agree with rfo but would have to include the reproduction manuals as a choice. Not the real thing but they don't cost as much either. Also make sure you are not buying a repro when believing it to be original!

  Just call Colt and ask for any and all manuals you need. I just got my model 1903 .32 auto smokeless manual and if you go by the original prices you can put a whole gun together for about $35.00 of course they wont honor the prices listed (even if they still had the parts around[:D]) They are VERY helpfull on the phone.
