Original Colt rubber grip, synthetic fabric belt holster. The Colt King Cobra is the big brother of the Colt Cobra. It was so popular that it was reissued by Colt in 2019 following its initial production run in the 1980s. Our lot is from 1987 and is issued in the blued version.
In 1846/47 Samuel Colt designed his first production-ready revolvers, still with percussion ignition. In 1848 the first factory was built and Colt has been one of the most important manufacturers of revolvers ever since. But it was not until the designs of J.M. Browning (Mod. 1895 and M1911) and Eugene Stoner (M16) that Colt celebrated its greatest commercial successes, becoming one of the standard bearers of the US armed forces. In the meantime, Colt has become a part of the CZ Group.
