When I was 17 I ordered a 45 caliber Colt Single Action knock off made by Hawes, probably in south America. I sent a postal money order to the seller. I think I saw the ad in a True Magazine or something like that. I took delivery at the train station freight office. This was just before the 1968 gun control act that resticted all of the above. Btw, it was well made but not even close to the first year second generation Colt SSA I inhierited from my uncle.
