Richard A Crawford (1935-2017) was a US Army paratrooper who served in Korea and later as a Dutchess County (NY) deputy sheriff. Dick was on the 1976 US Olympic Pistol Team and later built bullseye guns like this one through his shop Crawford Customs in Pleasant Valley NY. D45 “skip line” grips by Steve Herrett

Have a Customized Colt series 70 in 45 ACP that has a “Crawford Combat” “Pleasant Valley NY” on the right side of the slide. Assume it was built in the mid-1980’s as it has custom touches popular during that era. (squared off trigger guard with checkering on front, horizontal serrations on rear of slide, checkered front strap, believe the frame is hard chrome with blue slide, Bar-Sto comp barrel) Interested to hear Mr. Crawford was a Korea and Law Enforcement Veteran. Thank you for your service to our country, Sir, may you rest in peace.
