I have two Colt Detective specials that I have acquired over the last two years. My main problem is how do i know what issue it is? I have one nickel and one blue. both have the full lug so that rules out the first issue. Is there any tell tale signs I should look for. Thanks in advance for any help.

  What is the term used, when the
  grip frame straps front, back and
  bottom are exposed with two piece wood grips?
  Is it "round butt standard"?

  oldfiredrake...... Welcome to the forum.
  It looks like your Det Spec was made in 1966. In 90% cond it would likely fall in the $350 $400 range.

  Thanks Lefty, with the Bianchi and 200 bucks thought I made a fair deal.
