Senior Member Location: Canada | I don't have reference by serial number for that era Colts. You may be able to aproximate manufacture of your Colt by the following detail. If you own the Government Model MK/IV Series 80, it began life in 1983 with serial number FG01000. They stopped making 38 Super and 9mm in 1992. By 1996, .45 ACP with rubber combat style grips and rampant Colt medallions. Assuming yours is a .45 ACP, Blue finish until 1997, also offered in '97 were fixed white dot sights, Nickel finish until 1986, Satin Nickel and blue came with Pachmayr grips 'till 1996, Stainless 'till 1998, Ultimate Bright Stainless 1986-96, Limited Class 1994-97, Custom Comp. Model (Colt Custom Shop) 1994-98. Gold Cup National Match MKIV/Series 80 in .45 ACP were also made between 1983 and 1996. Then you get into the Custom Tactical Gov't Models Levels 1, 2, 3. Combat series 80 for competition, carry models, Elites, Lightweights and the like. I welcome your inquiry and hope this helps. Feel free to make a small contribution to Pistolsmith.com via PayPal. |
