It is incredible how a small aesthetic detail improves greatly the overall look of a handgun.
You did fine! Congratulations and enjoy this little gem of engeneering.
I'm a little late to the party, but am always glad to see 1903s that have that experienced patina look. You know there are untold stories of that Colts history. I'm a proud owner of two similar Colts, one made in 1912 and the other made in 1921. I shoot both very well as compared to many other vintage 32acp/7,65mm is my collection.
They are fun, well balanced and accurate firearms. Love'em.
That is really neat it almost looked parked. How is your trigger pull? Mine is very heavy. A few years ago I started to pick up a few Rubys and thought I should have a 1903 too. I think they improved on them when they located the take down notch with the safety. Sure made stripping them down simple.
I have an FN 1910, very early production that unfortunately was nickle plated. It is great fun to shoot but what were they thinking of with those sights? I think the FN is even worse than the Colt.
Sorry to state this, but the Browning designed guns were not meant to be used, aimed, in the way that is customary today, where almost all just use their eyesight. I posted about this before and will look for the link.
