Colt Cobra, .38 Special

[sip62]

my newest joy:

Colt Cobra (produced in 1954), 4" barrel, dual tone finish, .38 Special

In the early guns (1950s), the flat sides of the frames were highly polished before anodizing, and the lateral surfaces had a matte finish (Colt called it "dual tone" finish). Later guns had all surfaces with the high polish.

That is cool. I've seen the 3" barrels, but never a 4". Congrats.

Never knew they made a 4". Mine is a 2" purchased new in 1968 as an off-duty weapon.
