First Colt Revolver

[chasu]

I got my first Colt Revolver today. It is a Colt Detective Special in Polished Nickel. SN S269xx. It has the full shrouded ejector. Any idea on the age? It's in fantastic shape. Thanks in advance.

Uh... what?? LOL! ! What does being old enough to drink have to do with anything.

I guess you could say "I ain't pickin' up what yer puttin' down" LOL.

Anyone else hope for a picture of a Patterson or replica from that subject?

Congratulations on your Detective. It's probably the finest snub nosed revolver ever made. Beautiful nickel finish.

I have settled on the holster brand I like (after several boxes full of other manufacturers) and anything else will usually just end up in one of said boxes.

Yup! I expected a picture of a Patterson.
