The pinto Detective specials (or any Pinto colt for that matter) is very rare. Colt just didn't make many. I have two as you see pictured, one that is the opposite (nickel frame with blued cylinder) and 2 that are royal blued frames with gold plated cylinders. The gold/blue combo was less than 100 produced. Mostly overruns from Bijan. The others were 250 each. I really like those pintos. To get a LNIB version of those Colt pintos expect to plunk down close to $3k. That is one of the things that is making me warm up to the Smiths although I will say the 36-1 was close to the Colt price.
