on the left side of the slide it it says ' Series 80COLT MKIV', under that it says 'gold cup national match'. If I wanted a larger caliber National Match 1911 I would consider it as well. I have in my hands a colt gold cup series 80 MKIV. Some things to consider depending on what you want it for would be ammo costs and availability, do you already have and shoot 10mm, or do you already have and collect Colts or 1911's? If I wanted to add to my Colt 1911 collection I might consider it if it was such a bargain. Too many variables for me to recommend to buy it or not, but they are well built pistols. I know where there is a stainless model like yours that is NIB, unfired, and he is asking a thousand dollars more than what yours is going for, so if yours is in excellent condition it may be a good buy. Is the one you're looking at stainless, blued, or hybrid? These are generally limited edition or small run pistols.
It would make a fine addition to a Colt, 1911, or 10mm collection missing a Delta Elite or as a duty, carry, hunting sidearm or home defense handgun.National Match means it is a target accurized pistol with adjustable sights.
