POTD: Mother Of Pearl – Colt MK IV Series 80
Today’s subject here at Photo Of The Day is a Colt M1911 Mk IV Series 80.
The perfect EDC for a Sunday!
As I am sure you will notice there is also an automatic knife from Microtech knives and a knuckle, all themed up in pearl. There’s a patch too, but I’ll leave the comments to our readers.
I fully understand this combination may not be to everyone’s taste, but there is obviously a market for it. It is pretty far away from a stippled Glock anyway – and diversity is good, no?
According to Wikipedia the Colt Mk IV Series 80 was introduced in 1983.

Uhhhh where can I get that patch??
I desperately want to know the source for that image. It's been floating around darker corners of the internet for YEARS and I have yet to learn who actually made it.
