I am sure you have something interesting there, but we need pictures , and the more the better. Clear close up and personal pictures . This will give us an idea of what we are looking at.

Best.

COLT

...First, it's not a version of the DE...models unto themselves.

Custom Combat 10
Combat Delta 10
Delta Elite
Combat Elite

There is a NEW Combat Elite, XSE model..NIB around $900 in .45...and an older Combat Elite...blue slide and SS frame.

The Custom Combat 10 is not made any longer to my knowledge, so, in 100% original condition will be collectable as a Colt, just one reason they're "collectable". I "think" they had a run of 400 in late 80's, another reason they're "collectable", plus they are nice guns.

Custom Combat 10 came with Custom Shop goodies from the factory so just one reason it's NOT related to the DE, which had no goodies.
Im not sure if the run included SS or nickle, or how many of each...someone with "all" the info books will come along and answer that Im sure. I'm depending on my memory and brain, and that sometimes is dangerous.

DEPENDING on condition, the gun could be worth $850 to $1,500+ also dependent on geographic location and what any "buyer" is comfortable with. They are nice guns, w/a run of only 400, fairly rare. Original serialed to gun box and all paper work would add a +$125-$150.

Condition, condition, condition...and IF it is in the original CONFIGURATION it left the factory will determin it's value; to a degree that is. The Blue Book is about worthless for figuring out a Colt's value, the BB always under values Colts. An un altered Colt will almost w/o fail increase in value 3 times a year...2 times a year is common.

Unlike most guns a Colt will increase a
at a rate higher than the "inflation" rate...[;)]

I'd be real suprised if it didn't bring $800. Most, depending on condition, range from $800-1200.
You might ask over on the 10mmtalk forum too.
