Lookit 8771, apparently it snuck out a couple days earlier.

[Ed P]

Hi Ken... actually it is 738, I had 739 about 5 years ago... They are both DEL marked guns...I'll give you a buzz the next day or so... Ed

[Johnny P]

At one time had DEL marked No. 825, which was a worn but original specimen. Sold it and a few years later saw it sporting a brand new blue finish.

[Ed P]

Johhny...Was talking to the new owner of 825 and we both are trying to find any info on the DEL guns. Did you happen to find any when you owned it.

[Johnny P]

Never located any information on the DEL marked Colts.
