Colt Cobra

captain cove
GENTLEMEN:

I JUST PURCHASED A COLT COBRA WITH HAMMER SHROUD FROM SOME OLD LADY AT AN ESTATE SALE. IT LOOKS NEW, NOT EVEN A RING AROUND THE CYLINDER, AND CAME IN THE ORIGINAL COLT BOX WITH HANGING PRICE TAG, (PRICE SAYS $110.00) AND OTHER PAPERWORK. SHE SAID SHE NEVER SEEN HER HUSBAND FIRE IT. ON THE END FLAP OF THE BOX IT SAYS, COLT COBRA REVOLVER, 38 SPECIAL, 2 INCH BLUE. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL BLUE STRIP OF PAPER THAT IS PASTED ON THE FLAP THAT SAYS "SHROUD". THE SERIAL NUMBER IS HAND WRITTEN ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX,IT IS A88958. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN THIS WAS MADE? HOW MUCH COULD THIS BE WORTH? THANK YOU.

    I just bought a brand new colt cobra off a guy for $400. The guns has never been shot, it is in immaculate shape it dosent have one scratch anyhwhere on it. It is a blued finish. It also came with the original box and papers, the box is a little beat up but thats the only downfall of the gun. Did I get a good deal on this gun? How much is it worth? The serial # is 74368r and the model # is d3425.

    All Cobras are aluminum framed. It was made in 1959. Price sounds about right. Might shoot a few +P, but it will hurt frame if you do much of it. My first new pistol that I ever bought was a Cobra that I bought in 1965 and I still have it. They were $73.50 at that time.

    The Cobra is a well-made and reliable firearm.....basically it's an aluminum framed Detective Special.

    Yes, you can occasionally fire +Ps in it....but certainly not as a steady diet. Aluminum doesn't have the elasticity (or "memory", or "springyness") of steel, and continued use of +Ps can stretch the top strap of the revolver.
