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.
