Description:
SUPER RARE COBRA, .38 SPECIAL WITH ALMOST NEVER SEEN 4" BARREL, #A77XXX, MADE 1969! The Cobra was Colt's offering of the famed Detective Special "Snub-Nose" revolver with an alloy frame to be a lighter weight carry gun than the all steel Detective Special. The six-shot Cobra was only slightly larger than its main competition the five-shot S&W Chief Special Model 36 (steel) and Model 37 (alloy). Almost all Cobras were .38 Special caliber with 2" barrels. Anything else is considered rare. This example is one of the few made with a 4 inch barrel. In the excellent relatively new book Seven Serpents, The History of Colt's Snake Guns, by Gurney Brown, the author has a rarity table with aspects of the Cobra rated from 1 (standard) to 5 very rare. He lists the 4" barrel as a "5" in rarity. This example has seen only light carry wear mainly to the sharp edges of the top strap and cylinder edges. The standard checkered walnut grips have been replaced with fake pearl grips that should be easy to replace with originals. One of the most scarce of the post-war Colts.
