This first model Colt Trooper was based on the Colt “I” frame as used for the Officer’s Model Match and offered in. The Colt Trooper first appeared in 1953 and remained in production until it was replaced by the Mark III version in 1969. The condition of that revolver is rated by Rock Island Auction as being “ ND – VERY GOOD: in working condition, 80% finish or better.” The early model Colt Trooper was made in. You will find the sale page for the above pictured revolver if you click here. The Colt Trooper Mk III in the pictures above is an example that is to be offered at auction by Rock Island Auction on March 23rd, 2017. Revolvers on the second hand market are obviously not new and buyers have to be aware of what to look for if purchasing one. This Colt Trooper Mk III is an example of the second hand Colt double-action revolvers currently available. But we also observe that the new Colt Cobra is a new design, we don’t know if Colt will be making such classics as the Colt Python again in its original form although there are no doubt many potential buyers out there just itching to burn a Colt Python sized hole in their boringly full wallets. So Colt’s recent re-entry into the double action revolver market with their new Colt Cobra is welcome and we hope that goes well for them. So in recent years if someone has wanted a Colt double-action they have needed to shop around to find a good used one.
It remained possible to get a Colt Python made to special order up until 2005 when all production completely ceased. When Colt ceased production of their double-action revolvers back in 1999 there was much wailing and gnashing of the teeth amongst the Colt aficionados.
