i have always loved the older colts but don’t know enough about them to collect. Great looking guns.

Hey Colt,I’m a revolver guy and have plenty but I’ll stop flooding the thread and stop with my favorite. A first year (1963) 2.5 inch python wearing preban ivory.

That is truly beautiful, my problem would be I want to shoot it which would ruin the value.
I stand corrected. Don't know where I got the Cobra Agent on barrel. Just says Cobra.Never seen one marked that way! That might be a bit of an oddball, but I'm no Colt collector. Sure looks like a Cobra but maybe there was a transitional model. Do you have a pic of the barrel stamp?
Edit: apparently post-1966 the Cobra/Agent were identical and Colt quickly dropped the Agent. Probably after they ran out of barrels. Well I learned something new today. I'll keep digging. I still haven't found another example of one being stamped with both names but Colts and S&Ws both have tons of guns that are "anomalies".
Colt 2nd gen .357. Turned this into...
This. New barrel; still a .357. Tuned by Alan Harton in Dallas. Mucho nice!
Very cool!
I also own a .38 LCR.. and a Taurus 85 (1994 model 3" stainless) bought them both new.. guess that makes us brothers in arms..!While it pales in comparison to many of the beautiful revolvers shown here, this is my Ruger .38 LCR.
Other than an old Taurus model 85 .38, which is now permanently housed in my safe, and was the first handgun I ever purchased many years ago, this Ruger is the only revolver I still own and occasionally take for a joyride.... assuming I can find ammo for it.
