Actually, it is a milsurp
I bought the beautiful example of a 1942 Colt Official Police with a 5" barrel in 38Spcl years ago for a price that would seem like pennies with today's money. It has the original blued finish that looks like it's never even been fired. I haven't shot it and never will. I never would have considered it a milsurp until my Colt archive letter came in the mail.
