Colt Series 70 Competition Eli Whitney Commemorative 45 ACP Pistol

This Colt Series 70 Competition pistol is #68 of 500 made to commemorate Eli Whitney and Eli Whitney Jr's contributions to Colt's production. In 1798, Whitney built a factory for mass producing muskets for the US Army from interchangeable parts. Sam Colt later collaborated with Eli Whitney Jr. to successfully integrate the assembly line and interchangeable parts into what became Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company in Hartford, CT. This pistol is in excellent overall condition, and will ship with its original factory case.
