That's really a great find. Thanks for sharing.
Just curious....how does it compare in size with a detective special??

In response to Woods, here are a few size comparison pictures:
Cobra on the top of the Lawman
Cobra (same frame as the Detective Special and Agent) and Lawman
Lawman and Colt Official Police
Small framed it isn't!

Now to find a quality OWB right hand holster for it and a double speed loader pouch that isn't too bulky. Any hints?

The dagger is a limited edition made by Kershaw and is called a Trooper; came in a glass fronted display case.

cwo4uscgret,
Nice weapon, and the early version without the ejector rod housing. I bet that will make it desirable for resell in the the future. I think those are definitely a bit rare.
If you go to the Colt Forum and search "Revolvers" you will find a nice discussion of the 2 inch MKIIIs.
I suggest a visit to ebay for leather. I recently bought a good holster for my Lawman MKIII there. It was the brand made in Paraquay?? Nice leather with a tight fit. It was the model listed for a 2 1/2 inch M686.
Here's a pic of mine factory NIB with all the paperwork. And Yes, I am going to shoot it.

Semperfi - I have a brand new (almost, in the box, all papers, maybe 1 magazine of ammo shot through it) Colt Govt Model MkIV in .38 Super. In addition to shooting it I use it as a platform for my .22 Colt conversion unit. Even rarer are the Coonan Model B and Coonan Cadet that were unfired when I bought them from a collector - not a shooter by his own admission. I readily corrected that; guns are after all, meant to be shot.
I also have an old nickel plated S&W Model 1-1/2 .32 S&W short that I've shot, it is from the 1880s.
Thanks for the advice about the ColtForums, I belong there (same name) and about the holsters. My local gun shop carries that line but I have a few old holsters that fit the gun.
He's known as Rob, RJ, and a few other user name but there is a fellow from NY how sells quality old (and some NOS) holsters and generally has some good deals; I buy reguarly from him and just bought some holsters that should work for the Lawman Mk III.
