I have a 80 series colt commander that is a "custom by ed brown". It was made in 1990 and has a blue slide with silvery type of frame, maybe metaloy, it's not stainless steel. Bomar sights and a bar-sto barrel. Do these have any value above a new production Ed Brown? It's a beautiful gun with a terrific trigger.

The frame is probably hard chrome, a favorite of custom gunsmiths who want the best finish that's a real lifetime finish.
Hard chrome is offered by a number of suppliers, often under a brand name, but it's all hard chrome. |

Ed Brown second hand market tends to be softer than other 1911 semi custom shops, but you never know what something is worth to the right person. I'd be tempted if I saw it in the classifieds, but two tone with target sights is my favorite configuration.
You'll get better feedback from the 1911 section here, or even better a dedicated 1911 forum like 1911 Addicts. Great looking specimen you have there! |
