RARE FIRST YEAR COBRA, .32 NP, 4" SQUARE BUTT, MADE 1951

Description:
ONE OF THE RAREST OF THE POST-WAR COLTS IS THIS FIRST YEAR PRODUCTION COBRA IN .32 NEW POLICE (.32 S&W LONG) WITH 4” BARREL, SQUARE BUTT AND “COLTWOOD” GRIPS, #3XXX-LW, MADE 1951. The standard for this light weight alloy model was .38 Special with 2” barrel- basically a light weight Detective Special. At the year of introduction, 1951, the Cobra was offered in .38 Spec. and .32 N.P. calibers with 2” and 4” barrels. The 2” had the round butt configuration and the 4” had a square butt. Within a few years the square butt was changed to round on all barrel lengths and the grips changed to walnut. This is the first 4” square butt with Coltwood grips Cobra I’ve seen. This example appears unfired and retains about all the blue. Grips are excellent and there is not even a cylinder ring. I don’t expect to find another in any condition. $1895.
