The MK IV/Series 70 operating system provides a classic 1911 configuration without a firing-pin safety, and this example follows the Government Model format with a 5-inch barrel, GI-style recoil spring plug, and bushing. The case label shows 05872A1, aligning this pistol with current production features.
The slide is rollmarked on the left with "SERIES '70 COLT MK IV" and on the right with "GOLD CUP NATIONAL MATCH" and the trophy logo. It incorporates rear cocking serrations, a flat serrated top rib to cut glare, and a lowered/flared ejection port. The polished blue flats contrasted with matte blue rounds give it a traditional, high-contrast blued presentation.
Barrel and lockup details include a Colt National Match barrel and standard 1911 bushing system. The barrel hood is marked "COLT 9MM LUGER N.M.," and the pistol is chambered for 9mm Luger with a 9+1 capacity using single-stack magazines.
Target-focused features include a fully adjustable rear sight paired with a plain black front blade, plus a lightened three-hole target trigger with an overtravel screw. The pistol retains a spurred hammer, grip safety, and thumb safety. Checkered double-diamond hardwood grips with gold Colt medallions complete the package.
