This is a 1974 Colt Cobra 5 shot 38 special revolver with nickel coating. The nickel is beautiful with a couple minor blemishes on the right side, and one minor blemish on the left side. The hammer has some build up on the left side that appears as if it will clean off well, but I am NOT a licensed appraiser or professional refinisher so I'm leaving it as it is. The timing is perfect, there is very little carbon build up or powder burns inside the frame. The turn line is faint but definitely there. I'm uncertain if it was shot or just loved on, but she's pretty.
