Value of a Colt Cobra? pix added!!
I hope it is OK to post this question in this forum.
A friend has inherited a Colt Cobra .38 Special from his father. He wants to sell it but neither of us has any idea what it is worth.
It has a 5 inch round barrel with no shroud, 50% of bluing gone, most of the checkering in the original Colt wood grips gone. It is marked as having once been property of Venezuelan "Policia Del Distrito Federal". Serial number is late 1950s with "LW" by the number.
The defects appear to be cosmetic because it still locks up nicely with no visible wear on bolt, notches, or ratchet.
Sorry he does not want to post pix.
Anyone care to give a range of value?
Thanks.
