Question Opinions about a Colt King Cobra. Older One.

I have found an "As New" Colt King Cobra Stainless 6 inch barrel for $1899.00 at my Preferred Gun Shop. Manufactured in 1992. It's in Unfired ( Except Factory Firing) Condition. Has the Colt Medallion Pachmayer grips. This Guy WILL do some Trades! I have No Pictures, but the serial # is VC0711
Opinions? Is it worth it? No Box or paperwork, He bought several Snake Guns from an Old Guy wanting to sell his collection. Worth $1899.00?
Again, I think so!

I would say it is worth it. Its not really old enough imo to care about box or papers. Besides the factory cold historic letter is the one you want if that matters.


I say yes!

Very nice. I have been wanting a wheel gun but with some life changes it has been put on hold. So maybe next year.

Only if I wanted a divorce. But it sounds like a good deal.

Default Any other thoughts?

Anyone else have opinions to help Me do what I'll probably do anyway?

I think it's priced just about right.
It's worth what you want to pay for it. But, I did some research online and people are asking any where from $1,000.00 to upwards of $2,500.00.
I'm a Colt fan and collect them when possible. I managed to pick up a Python for $1,000.00 a few years a go and last year picked up a Diamondback for $500.00. I also own a Colt 1911 Government Series 70 .45 and a Colt Agent.
To me they're historical and nostalgic. I carried the Agent during my undercover days.
They're also an investment. My wife is not into guns. She't not anti-gun, jut not into them. So even if she sells all my collection for the low end of pricing after I'm gone she'll make enough to pay for burial.

So, the long and short of it is, go for it!
