ok, just checked out a bunch on popsike.

I think it goes something like this:

WLP - with Madison address (sometimes crossed out), Sheldon stamp & scratched release number in deadwax (this is consistent with other wlp colt 45s I have but the release number does not match the sequence as my others are 3 digit numbers)

Gold stock - Colt written under the horse, label type/credits similar to wlp (original stock, the gold label matches other gold label CJ related stock 45s I have. If consistent with these this should have the Sheldon stamp in the deadwax also)

off white (light green) stock - Colt written below the horse but with different label credits (original 2nd press??)

the picture which started my panic

off white (light green) promo with the word Colt split by the horse, no label address. Is this a boot or updated version of the wlp? Is it Sheldon stamped?

Are there any other variations?

It's 100% boot.

I have the gold one. Not sure about the Sheldon stamp though. Will have to check.

If You Look At JM's Guide No5 Anything Other Than The Gold Issue Or White Demo's Are Boots!! I Would Be Contacting The Said Person Kris Good Luck. Atb John

just to clarify I have the one in the first picture which is legit wlp. i was panicking because I got the idea that people in the other thread were implying that any version of this release with the word Colt split by the picture of the horse was a boot. I also had to dig my copy out to check that it had the address on the label & that the label was genuinely white since I hadn't seen my copy for a while. I can breathe easy again
