This is the only model, of which I own two identical guns. These 1970s lightweight guns get 5 out of 5 stars from me. Note: Since these were online sales it is important to note that buyers likely paid $100 more than the reflected sales price to cover credit card fees, shipping costs and FFL transfer fees. Further, of the 19 best examples, they sold between $1,000 and $2,400.Ī closer look at the top 19 Cobras that sold during this time revealed that 3 went for more than $2,000, 5 sold for $1,200 to $1,800 and the balance of 11 guns sold for $1,000 to $1,200. Of the 215 completed sales analyzed, I found that only 19 of those guns might be considered Collector Grade Quality.
In my research I found 215 completed online auction sales of the Colt Cobra over the 12 month period from October 2019 to October 2020 and the Average Sales Price was $652. 22 LR Cobra was available only with the 3-inch barrel. 32 caliber version was availble in 2- and 3-inch barrel lengths. 38 Special Cobra was available in 2, 3 and 4-inch barrel lengths. At first glance, the most distinguishing feature is the full-shroud surrounding the ejector rod. An anonymous New Jersey gun collector paid $220,000 for it.Ĭolt Cobra: Nickel plated alloy (15 oz.). The Jack Ruby Colt Cobra was returned to his estate many years later and was sold at auction. The serial number of Ruby's Colt was 2744LW (note the LW stands for Light-Weight). It was an earlier version of the Colt Cobra that Jack Ruby used to kill Lee Harvey Oswald. I have seen many examples at gun shows that appear to have thousands of tiny scratch marks from being wiped with the wrong kind of cloth.
Use extreme care in cleaning the finish on this gun. If you find one of these in "mint condition", it's a great gun to collect and/or carry. I paid $400 for this 1974 example in 1997 and $650 for the 1978 gun for my wife in 2002. Use the Colt Serial Number Database Lookup Tool. Note: Aircrewman began 1951 and ended 1959.
