OK, I posted a picture of the partial serial number. What date do you believe it was manufactured in?
After reading the comments to your post, I'm curious...when did you buy it as the original owner?Yes I am the original owner and no, I did not buy it in 1960. What age are you assuming I am?
The Colt Trooper was made from 1953 to 1969. The Trooper Mark III superceded the previous Trooper and had a redesigned lock mechanism. It was manufactured from 1969 to 1983 in blue and nickel finish with 4-, 6-, and 8-inch barrel lengths.Not according to the Colt web site I checked. I ran the serial number of my gun and it said 1960.
Nope. I have a 1961 Trooper .357.Trooper was 38 special only until 1962.
It is in the Firearms for Sale forum, where I believe it should remain cleaned of comments not pertinent per the rules of the Forum. If any want to start a thread on Colt birthday determination, let them start one!So do we move this to the firearms discussion as an identification question or do we leave it as a for sale post?
