Robby Shipley Special Colt Combat Commander Series 70 Semi-Automatic Pistol

Manufactured in the 1970s by the Colt Custom Shop as part of a special run of guns specifically for Robby Shipley of the Shipley Donut Company, Houston, Texas.

The pistol is equipped with a Gold Cup trigger and has standard Colt factory markings with the addition of "ROBBY SHIPLEY SPECIAL" on the right side of the frame. Includes a commercial novelty trinket box. The inside of the lid is lined in silk with an embroidered label claiming the gun's history, calling it "Prototype 1972 1 of 6" (serial number places production in 1975).

ConditionExcellent overall with 99% plus original finish remaining and showing a few minor scratches. Mechanically excellent .
