Not sure. Colt O1970a1cs series 70Is this a new production on what they called a classic
No different gun that is a 01911CIs this a new production on what they called a classic
Is this the “original GI?”No different gun that is a 01911C
Same gun as a O1911C, just different roll Marks, the "GI" you are thinking of is a much coarser finish I believeIs this the “original GI?”
The classic was a cheapo budget version?
These guns are great looking shooters right out of the box. They have polished flats vs the matte finish of the new O1911C. They have true rollmarks vs laser engraving. The general consensus is they had better fit and finish than the new classics. They came with standard Colt barrels but there are examples of ones with NM barrels. They certainly got more attention to detail than the current O1911C does. I believe they are now discontinued.The OP's gun is the Series 70 Reissue, the Classic is a newer model with a flat MSH, pre-70ish rollmarks, different hammer, and a couple of other minor differences. The S70 Reissue is a great gun, I have two.
Thanks. Yes this is a nice pistol. Blueing is nice and slide to frame fit is good. Was going to be a base for a custom. Decided I need to fill some voids in my collection before having another custom built. Can add more pics if anyone is interested.These guns are great looking shooters right out of the box.

I have used them as base guns and have a stock one as well. Good gun good price. GLWS
