Hello all,
I have a Colt revolver that I purchased some 10 years back. On the 6" barrel it has TROOPER .357 and under that is .357 Magnum CTG and the serial # is
750xx. I have a hard time seeing exactly where this fits in with the numbers I see at proofhouse.com, but I am thinking this means it was made sometime '67 or '68 ish.
Following the revolver checkout sticky, I get a pass with flying colors. It has Pachmayr Presentation grips and shoots like a dream with a touch of a hair trigger if the hammer is cocked back. I have large strong hands so that could just be me.
The bluing is faded slightly near the muzzle but there is not a hint of rust to be found. Attaching picture... Its a camera phone picture with some glare from the flash but it represents well enough I think.
I would appreciate any opinions or thought you all may have on this handgun in general or even its potential resale value.
