Colt Cobra 1st Issue Revolver .38 Spl Built in 1956

Serial #53117LW, .38 Special, 2" barrel with an excellent, bright bore.  This is a 1956-made revolver  that has retained 90-92% of the original blue finish, with some mild fading along the barrel and on the high edges and projections.  Additionally, there is a light turn-ring on the cylinder, and some specks of freckling on the sides of the hammer spur.  The checkered Colt medallion grips are numbered to the gun on the interior and are in fine shape with some mild wear and flattening of the points at the butt on either side.  The action functions flawlessly in both single and double-action, and the lock-up is tight.  This is a great example of a lightweight "Snake Gun" and is in fine overall condition.  FFL or C&R
