The Colt Government Model 1911 Classic Engraved in .45 ACP (Colt part no. O1911CLASSIC) is a presentation 1911 built around a polished finish and high-coverage leaf scrollwork on both the slide and the frame. Colt borders the slide in 24 kt. gold, finishes the small parts in 24 kt. gold and sets a gold rampant pony on white presentation grips. Underneath the show finish is the classic Government Model layout, a 5-inch steel pistol with a manual thumb safety and a grip safety. It is a fit for collectors and 1911 owners who want a showpiece that still runs like a working .45.
