I really like the looks of that pistol. They did a great job re-furbishing it. Some of the lettering on the slide is a bit mushed out, but overall, I would be REALLY pleased to receive a pistol like that. What grade did you order, and did you have to do anything special (pay lots more money) to get both a Colt frame AND a Colt slide, or are you just really, really lucky?
I'm not sure if it is just the lighting under which you took the photos, but the photos make the finish appear to have a really neat looking greenish tint to it. Is the pistol's finish really a neat greenish tint, or is it just the lighting? I know that some parkerization can have significant differences in color from black to gray to greenish gray. I think a nicely applied parkerized finish like you received does a really good job protecting the pistol, and holding onto oil and lubricant much better than a slick blued finish. Overall, I too would be really thrilled if I received that pistol.
