And Colt, too, if anyone happens to know.

Cody letters take about a month.

The Colt Archives takes significantly longer than Cody. Our last Colt letters took about 6 months and we’ve had some take as long as 8-9 months.

Not outrageous; beyond outrageous! Considering, especially, how “little” these swindlers charge for their “services.” I’ve been waiting “only” three & half months for one for a modern S&W revolver. It’s a con game, but the chief blame falls on the factories which sold their records to the con artists who now control them.

The Colt letters I got last year took over 4 months. The 3 Colt letters I am still waiting for are now about 5 1/2 months. They are more than 2 times the cost of a Cody letter too. Cody is busy and there is nobody at Colt that knows how to research the archives anymore.
